Huayu: Starting with living with a girl from Taiwan

A scene that left Lin Mo both amused and exasperated unfolded.

Zeng Peici was sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen with a "battle face" and gritting his teeth.

The program playing on the screen was the one where Lin Mo sang "Those Years".

The video is currently showing Liu Mingfeng making some harsh remarks on stage.

Hearing the door open, Zeng Peici pointed at Liu Mingfeng, who had been spouting nonsense, showing none of the nervousness she had displayed on the phone earlier about participating in the program, and said righteously:

"Amo, I want to challenge him!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo was at a loss for words, and his expression was quite interesting.

This girl is really interesting.

So Liu Mingfeng has become your tool for boosting your anger and courage?

However, Lin Mo felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

At least Zeng Peici was now completely energized.

"Alright, then get ready and defeat him in the PK."

"Um!"

......

......

The next morning.

The sun was shining brightly when Zeng Peici went to school.

Lin Mo then arrived at the headquarters of Comic.

It was still that luxurious office. Today, Angie Chai was wearing a light gray business suit, with exquisite makeup, and looked more capable than usual.

"sit."

Chai Zhiping gestured for Lin Mo to sit down, then took a bank card from the drawer and handed it to him.

"This is my salary for the last film, 'The X-Family'."

"We've checked, and it was indeed an oversight by someone below."

"You push me and I push you, and in the end everyone thinks they've made it, but it turns out they missed it."

Lin Mo took the card: "Thank you, Sister Chai."

"Of course." Angie Chai then took out another document. "This is the studio's contract. Take a look."

This time, Lin Mo didn't speak, but instead began to carefully review the contract.

Playing around is fine, but you can't joke around when signing a contract.

He is experienced in this area.

Having witnessed countless contract traps on the internet in his past life, coupled with his current legal knowledge, he can truly be considered a professional.

Guaranteed to avoid any problems.

Lin Mo read it from beginning to end, word by word.

To his surprise, the contract not only met all his previous needs but also further expanded his autonomy.

The studio operates entirely independently, bearing its own profits and losses.

Comic only provides basic legal and some brokerage services, taking a commission based on the price.

Lin Mo retains full creative autonomy and commercial decision-making rights.

The studio can independently sign artists (subject to reporting to Comic Productions).

For film and television collaborations, separate project contracts are signed, and profits are shared according to the agreement.

......

It's basically just a pure affiliation arrangement.

In today's entertainment industry, very few artists can enjoy this kind of treatment.

The company doesn't want to give it, but it's also afraid to give it.

In the entertainment industry, everyone knows that the more famous you are, the more extravagant you tend to be, and the more likely you are to get into trouble.

If the company doesn't keep a strict eye on things, and the artists let loose a little, they might end up in jail.

The company's initial investment would then be wasted.

Therefore, the contracts that many artists sign are strictly managed by their companies.

Lin Mo's semi-independent model is already considered quite lenient.

Of course, this is also related to the nature of Comic Company.

Big companies like Rolling Stones and Warner Music would never offer Lin Mo such a contract.

This is the dignity of a long-established giant.

Capital is inviolable.

People like Angie Chai and Ge Fuhong are different.

After reading the entire contract, Lin Mo nodded: "Sister Chai, I have no questions."

Angie Chai smiled, her eyes narrowing: "I've placed a big bet with you, so I hope you won't let me down."

Lin Mo smiled too.

He didn't say anything grand; he simply picked up the black pen on the table and signed his name on the contract.

Starting today, he has officially established his personal studio.

Although it's just an empty shell right now, at least it's taken the first step.

"Congratulations." Angie Chai extended her hand.

"Thank you, Sister Chai." Lin Mo shook hands with her.

After the brief handshake, Angie Chai added:

"Of course, this news still needs to be kept secret for now. HIM International Music has requested that it be announced only after the show is finished recording, so you'll have to put up with this for a while."

Lin Mo smiled and said, "These are minor issues."

After signing one contract, Chai Zhiping took out another document:

"This is a role contract for 'Hot Shot'."

"Filming will take place at the end of next month, around the time when 'Super Star Avenue' will be finished."

"It's okay if it's not over yet, we can postpone filming your scenes."

Lin Mo took the script and opened it.

He was stunned when he saw just the first page.

[Character: Wuji Mo]

[Character Setting: A basketball prodigy trained by the Dongfang family, arrogant and aloof, exceptionally talented, with a dazzling autumn style, and unparalleled combat power...]

isn't it?

I'm playing Wuji Zun?

No, it should be called "Wuji Ink" now.

The screenwriter even changed the character's name, which shows their sincerity.

Lin Mo was speechless.

Why did they steal Wu Chun's role again?

But he likes it.

In fact, in the drama "Hot Shot", Dongfang Xiang's character is a cold and aloof academic genius, and the overall character is somewhat arrogant and conflicted.

However, Jerry Yan always seems to play Dao Ming Si no matter what role he plays.

Yuan Daying's character is a hot-blooded idiot, only Wuji Zun... ah no, Wuji Mo.

It's the pinnacle of combat power, appearance, and prestige.

I doubt any guy would refuse to play Wuji Mo in "Hot Shot"

"How is it?" Chai Zhiping asked.

"Sure," Lin Mo nodded. "This role is quite interesting."

"That's good." Angie Chai smiled. "The role will be billed as the third male lead, and the salary will be paid according to that standard."

"Although you can't compare to Jerry Yan and Show Lo, it's already quite good for a newcomer like you."

Lin Mo continued to look through the contract.

The salary was NT$160 million, which was roughly equivalent to RMB 40 at the exchange rate at the time, which was indeed a considerable sum.

It's worth noting that the grand prize for the "Super Star Avenue" champion is only NT$100 million.

The other terms and conditions are also standard, with no hidden traps.

Lin Mo picked up the pen again and signed his name.

Basketball Fire, by Wuji Mo, is coming soon!

Lin Mo felt it was time to put his weightlifting plan on the agenda.

Since the role is to be played by a professional basketball player, the muscles shown on the outside of the basketball uniform cannot be soft and flabby.

That doesn't look good.

Lin Mo always felt that if you're going to act, you should have the basic qualities of an actor.

He suddenly remembered something: "Sister Chai, are there any other supporting actresses in this drama?"

"What? Are you bringing people into the crew?" Chai Zhiping asked with a smile.

Lin Mo nodded, briefly described Zeng Peici's physical appearance, and then added:

"She's about to participate in the 'Super Star Avenue' challenge, which should generate some buzz. If there's a suitable supporting actress in 'Hot Shot,' we can give her a chance."

Angie Chai thought for a moment:

"Yes, there is... the best friend of the second female lead [Jie'er]. She doesn't have many scenes, but she's quite likable. We could give her a try."

"Thank you, Sister Chai." Lin Mo didn't care about the requirements of the role; as long as he could act, that was enough.

"No need to thank me," Angie Chai waved her hand. "It's just a mutually beneficial arrangement."

"Your studio needs artists to grow, and my company needs projects to make money."

"Anything is negotiable as long as it's a win-win situation."
