Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 869: Fifty Million Film Fee
How could Sheng Tang not be excited?
She’s almost going crazy from lack of money right now.
On Zheng Weiwei’s side, it’s been less than a year since "Who Fears Who in the Workplace" went offline, the repayment period hasn’t arrived yet, and the investors have to be settled first before it’s Sheng Tang’s turn; "Genius Girl" hasn’t ended its run yet, and its repayment will take at least another year.
Sheng Tang is currently supporting herself with her little savings and income from shooting advertisements.
These films are not like the initial "Road to Elevation."
The investments and accounts of "Road to Elevation" were very clear, and its box office earnings weren’t high, making taxes simpler, so the repayment was particularly fast.
Of course, Sheng Tang has the contract for "Genius Girl," and now she can use this contract to get loans of several million from the bank.
By finding a reliable financial advisor, the interest she might pay could be no more than a mortgage or car loan.
Nowadays, who doesn’t have a loan hanging over them? The most common mortgage is almost universally held.
Sheng Tang doesn’t think loans are a bad thing either.
She’s been considering this for a few days.
She’s still a bit hesitant, not because she doesn’t want to profit, nor because she’s afraid of risks, but because she instinctively resists loans. Loans make her feel insecure, an obsession left over from her previous life.
Money needs to be in real cash before it can be spent.
Therefore, when Liu Taofang mentioned the remuneration, Sheng Tang was very happy.
According to the market rules of this world, the film company would pay Sheng Tang one-third of her remuneration before filming starts, with the remainder paid upon completion.
Even at one-third, Sheng Tang could get over 16 million.
After deducting the company’s share and the agent’s 20%, Sheng Tang can get 30%, which is five million.
Five million is enough for her to buy a few dresses.
She urgently needs dresses and bags, because her current two dresses have been worn several times, and fashion bloggers have already dragged them out for criticism.
Although her fans defended her, the entertainment industry has its rules, and Sheng Tang can’t really treat herself as an ordinary person. That would be unprofessional and could offend the fashion industry.
"Who Fears Who in the Workplace" earned her enough goodwill in the fashion circle, and Sheng Tang doesn’t want this dress issue to become something they mock her for.
If they keep attacking her, eventually and imperceptibly, Sheng Tang will become synonymous with "tacky" and "low," and whatever she wears later will be criticized.
After all, fashion also needs guidance.
In her past life, Sheng Tang had seen stars who offended the fashion circle; they were clearly attractive, yet every appearance was heavily criticized, as if creating trouble for no reason.
That would be too miserable.
"I’m very satisfied with the remuneration," Sheng Tang smiled, "Brother Liu takes good care of me."
"It’s what you deserve," Liu Taofang smiled, "Besides, we’re planning to pay you half first, not one-third."
This means Sheng Tang can initially receive 25 million in remuneration.
After the company’s "exploitation," Sheng Tang can receive 7.5 million.
If she economizes, buying one custom-made and three ready-to-wear dresses should be enough to sustain her until she receives money from Zheng Weiwei’s side.
Zheng Weiwei’s share and the remuneration provided to her are in the form of private gifts, which don’t require high deductions from the company, allowing Sheng Tang to receive over 30 million. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
She slowly let out a breath.
"Thank you, Brother Liu," Sheng Tang said.
They discussed the contract.
That morning, Sheng Tang signed a contract with Huatai Film and Television to star in this year’s major 3D film production "White Snake," playing the female lead Bai Suzhen.
This time, Huatai will fund the production independently without seeking investors, so as not to share their guaranteed box office profits.
