After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 116 Welcome to the Mountain and Sea
After afternoon tea, once we got to the office, it was time to start discussing the contract signing.

However, the atmosphere was not at all as serious as Pei Yuan had imagined, and both sides argued their points.

They sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, where the afternoon sunlight shone through the sheer curtains, becoming less harsh and making the whole space bright and gentle.

Everyone chatted casually, like friends, drinking tea and beverages, and enjoying fruit and snacks. They slowly and methodically drafted the contract.

On her way here, Pei Yuan was thinking that with her sister Han Ying's current popularity, she should be able to surpass C-level and try for a B-level contract, and the profit sharing should be negotiated to be 30/70, preferably 40/60.

When they actually started negotiating, she was surprised to find that the contracts from Shan Hai Studio did not have different levels.

More precisely, they will tailor a comprehensive contract for each artist who comes to sign.

In terms of profit sharing, there is absolutely no possibility of a 10/90 or 20/80 split where, after the company takes a cut from an event, the artist has to pay personal income tax, and after paying for makeup, costumes, and transportation, they still have to pay out of pocket.

Even the newest artists in the studio have a minimum 3/7 split in their hair.

Some even received a 50/50 score after potential assessment.

Following the previous extravagant studio, Pei Yuan exclaimed again: What an amazing studio this is!

However, the threshold for this amazing studio is indeed high.

The fact that they own such a large studio and have so few artists, both new and old, under their management speaks volumes.

The main principle is "better to have none than to have something of poor quality".

The final profit split was agreed to be 30/70, with the studio receiving 30% and the artist receiving 70%.

The contract term is only one year. Before it expires, Shan Hai Studio only has the right of first refusal to renew the contract, and will not force employees to stay.

The penalty for breach of contract is far from exorbitant, and it is calculated based on the artist's income, so there is absolutely no concern that they would be unable to pay it off even if they sold themselves.

There are also other clauses protecting the rights of artists, some of which they themselves hadn't even thought of, and were brought up by their studios.

This contract is so much better than Pei Yuan initially imagined, so much so that she can hardly believe it!
After handing the drafted contract to the specialist for printing, Gu Hai suddenly turned his gaze to Chi Song, who was sitting quietly in the corner, slowly sipping a cup of tea.

Chi Song noticed his gaze and looked up.

Gu Hai smiled generously and asked, "Mr. Chi, would you be interested in signing with our studio?"

"I am an athlete."

“I know, but Mr. Chi has a great advantage in the entertainment industry in terms of appearance, age and physical fitness.”

“I can’t act.”

"No one is born knowing how to act. And now it's not uncommon for athletes to enter the entertainment industry. After all, everyone's athletic career is limited. When they get older and their physical strength declines, they have to make way for younger generations. Although the entertainment industry is also a place where young people have a better chance of making a living, their careers are still longer than those of athletes. Even when they are in their forties or fifties, if their bodies allow, they can still be active on screen."

Chi Song looked at Gu Hai at this moment.

An objective analysis that leaves no room for argument, and a reasoned and well-founded expression – that’s what a true studio partner should be like.

In the silence, Jiang Hanying cracked open a macadamia nut with her bare hands and casually interjected, "Weren't you quite the actor before?"

Chi Song: "..."

This dark history is probably inescapable!

He pursed his lips. "Let me think about it."

Gu Hai smiled and took out his phone. "Let's add each other as friends first. Once you've thought it over, remember to give priority to our studio. As you just saw, our studio's motto is 'honesty and integrity.'"

"Sister Ying, let's add one too. I'll add you to our studio group. You can order food in the group every day."

Jiang Hanying immediately took out her phone before Chi Song could.

After they added each other as friends, the printed contract arrived. Jiang Hanying quickly checked it, making sure it was no different from what they had discussed earlier, and then reached out to take it.

Gu Hai quickly removed the cap from the pen and handed it over.

Just as I was about to put pen to paper, the office door was pushed open.

Jiang Hanying was positioned directly opposite the main entrance. Looking up, she saw Guan Shan, who was pushing a black suitcase and wearing a gray casual outfit, striding in.

"Is the contract signed?"

"Just about to sign." Gu Hai stood up and took the suitcase from his hand. "Brother, you came back just in time."

Guan Shan: "Go get me a glass of water."

"okay."

There were three copies of the contract. Guan Shan walked over to Gu Hai's seat, sat down, picked up the copy next to Jiang Hanying, and flipped through it.

Although Gu Hai had reported the contents of the contract to him via mobile phone, and he had reviewed it on the way back, he was still afraid of missing anything, so he rushed all the way and fortunately made it in time.

After he finished reading through each item, he looked up and saw that Jiang Hanying had already signed the other two documents and was just waiting for the one in his hand.

Jiang Hanying: "Have you finished watching?"

Guan Shan: "I've finished reading it, sign it."

Pei Yuan and Chi Song, watching from the side, felt that something was amiss.

Isn't this role reversed again?
The entire process of signing, pressing fingerprints, stamping, and filing was completed in less than half an hour.

Guan Shan extended his hand to Jiang Hanying: "Welcome to Shan Hai."

Jiang Hanying glanced at him and reached out to hold his hand.

At the same time, the official website of Shan Hai Studio also updated the latest information of its artists in real time.

The employee in charge of the official external accounts did a final check of the text they had already edited before pressing the send button.

Shan Hai Studio V: [Welcome to Shan Hai Studio! We wish you continued success and boundless joy. From this moment forward, let's journey together!]

As for the accompanying image, it wasn't taken specifically; it was a screenshot from the previous live stream. Everyone in the publicity department participated in a vote, and in the end, the image with the most votes was chosen.

The girl in the picture is wearing a black training uniform, her posture is casual yet upright, and her eyes are as bright as stars.

Wenwei took a nap in the lounge. She had to, since she had just had double eyelid surgery a few days ago, and the doctor specifically instructed her not to look at her phone for too long and to close her eyes to rest from time to time.

Upon waking up, the first thing she did was grab her phone.

Seeing that there was still no reply from Guan Shan, she snorted in annoyance. Just as she was about to refresh the page to check the latest news in the entertainment industry, her phone vibrated, notifying her that a specially followed account had a new update.

She clicked on it instinctively.

After seeing the person tagged and the accompanying image, I froze on the sofa.

"They signed! They actually signed Jiang Hanying!"

A few seconds later, Wenwei's hands trembled as she searched for the Shan Hai Studio website.

The homepage prominently displays the words "Welcome Jiang Hanying to Shan Hai Studio," giving her considerable prestige.

Clicking on it revealed Jiang Hanying's basic information, and the word 'Guan Shan' in the contact agent section instantly stung her eyes.

The Guan Shan she knew was never an impulsive person!

Wasn't it just a joke? How could you take it seriously!
