sister Tao, Zhou Sheng from the company called earlier. He said that Jiang se has accepted a new film. Her pay has been set at this amount.

Song Yi made an ‘eight’ sign at Tao cen, but Tao cen didn’t say anything.

She knew that since Song Yi took the initiative to bring up this topic, there should be more to it.

the lost city “was scheduled to be released worldwide on the 3rd of February. Although Tao cen did not play a big role in the movie, the Chinese box office had played a very important role in the global box office in recent years. Therefore, she was also running around with the crew to promote it, which indirectly opened up some European and American popularity.

During this period, with the help of chessaray’s fame, she had successfully hooked up with several well-known Hollywood producers and investors. She had also gotten the business cards of many filmmakers. Once “the lost city” was released, if the global box office was good, it could be made into a series of IP. Tao cen’s status would also rise, and it would be much easier to break into the European and American markets by then.

Because of this, Tao cen performed very well during the promotional period. When Zhou Sheng called her, she was still in North America. She only returned to the hotel after a day of promotional work with the crew.

Her assistant was helping her remove her makeup. In reality, she was so tired that she did not want to speak. However, since it concerned Jiang se, Tao cen still perked up and listened to Song Yi.

other than the 80 million, sister Xia also talked to her about the share of the box office.

When Song Yi said this, Tao cen’s brows truly furrowed.

At present, Tao cen’s remuneration had always maintained a leading position in China. She had earned nearly 100 million Yuan from acting in Chinese movies.

If she was optimistic about the box office of this movie, she would also lower her pay and strive to get a share of the box office.

However, if they wanted a share of the box office, the agreed price would not be able to reach 80 million.

“Chaoqun proposed such a condition?”

The assistant’s makeup removal action paused. Tao cen opened her eyes and stared at Song Yi.

“Will the investors agree?”

Even though Jiang se had acted in Chesare’s ” God’s salvation ” and worked with the Italian male star, Donald, her status had been elevated slightly. However, her next movie would probably be paid over a hundred million. It was impossible for her to be elevated by so much in one go.

After all,’the salvation of God’ had not been released yet. It was not good whether it won a big victory or whether it had a bad reputation and box office.

“What kind of movie would she dare to ask for such an exorbitant price?”

Tao cen was well aware of Xia Chaoqun’s personality. She would never do something that she was not confident in.

After all, if Jiang SE’s reputation was elevated too high and she was put in an awkward position in the end, it would cause an awkward situation. When Jiang SE’s value rose, no local investor would be willing to offer her such a price. No matter how high Jiang SE’s remuneration was, it would only be an inflated price.

Xia Chaoqun wasn’t a new manager, so it was impossible for him to do such a thing.

Unless Xia Chaoqun was confident that the producer would be able to come up with this sum of money and was willing to fork out the money, she would not do this.

As long as Jiang SE’s first job of raising her pay was settled, her future status and worth would be real.

“The movie isn’t a big production and the director is only Lin xiwen.”

Song Yi sighed helplessly, ”

but the investment company is Oriental Cinema. The biggest shareholder is Jiang SE’s fiancé.

Hence, Oriental Cinema would definitely agree to Xia Chaoqun’s conditions.

To some of the business partners in Oriental Cinema, connections were more important than money. In reality, the share of the box office that Jiang se took was merely transferred from his left hand to his right hand.

However, this was different for Jiang se. When Song Yi saw Tao cen’s clenched fist, he lowered his voice.

Zhou Sheng also mentioned that Jiang SE’s contract has expired. Mr. Luo met with her a few days ago.

After he finished speaking, he moved his upper body closer to Tao cen and said, ”

“Can you guess what they said?”

After Song Yi said this, Tao cen didn’t reply.

He raised his head in surprise and happened to see Tao cen looking at him with a faint smile. He instantly felt a little awkward.

Originally, Song Yi wanted to show off his ability in front of Tao cen, but Tao cen’s gaze seemed to see through everything.

I was wondering why Chaoqun would suddenly raise his pay so high. So it turns out that he was waiting here.

When she said this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

Jiang SE’s contract with century Galaxy was about to expire. Luo Hua did not want to talk to her. She must be thinking about the renewal.

Having been in this line of work for many years, Tao cen was well aware of the company’s approach.

Currently, Jiang se was of great value. She had more resources in Europe and the United States than he did. She was also rising in China. At the same time, most importantly, news of her marriage to the PEI family’s Crown Prince had spread. Naturally, century Galaxy would try their best to win her over.

However, when it came to the renewal of contracts, it was not something that could be settled with just a few words. It required both parties to test each other’s bottom line and then discuss it again before finally deciding.

Jiang se must have laid out her basic requirements during her first meeting with Luo Yin. There were also some detailed conditions that she had not met. The company would need to observe further.

With Jiang SE’s current status and identity, Tao cen could not think of anything else that could make Luo Yin hesitate other than shares.

Jiang se was an ambitious female artiste. What could move her now was not the company’s share-sharing system. Tao cen would not be surprised if she asked Luo Yin for century Galaxy’s shares before she agreed to renew the contract.

Once the shares were mentioned, Luo Yin’s roots would be touched. A board meeting would be needed to discuss this matter with Luo Yin’s private staff. Only then would they decide whether or not they would give Jiang se some shares and how much.

This was a tug-of-war between the company and Jiang se to see who was willing to compromise.

On the other hand, the new film that Xia Chaoqun had accepted on behalf of Jiang se was very intriguing.

It seemed as if she was not affected by the issue with Jiang SE’s contract with century Galaxy. She continued to work as usual and took on roles for Jiang se. However, in reality, she was increasing Jiang SE’s chances of negotiating terms with century Galaxy by increasing her pay.

If Jiang SE’s remuneration was 80 million Yuan plus a share of the box office, her actual income might have exceeded Tao cen’s by a lot.

In the past few years, the movies that Jiang se had acted in had done well at the box office. If the box office sales were to be calculated in terms of one billion Yuan, one could only imagine the amount of revenue that Jiang SE’s movie would bring to century Galaxy.

Once the issue of remuneration was settled, with Jiang SE’s reputation and status, her close personal relationship with chessaray overseas, and the fact that she had “God’s salvation” in her heavily invested movie production, as well as the numerous reasons from before, Luo Yin would agree to give Jiang se some of his shares in exchange for her signing the contract.

If Jiang se could get her hands on the shares, her status would change from a female star of the century Galaxy to a shareholder with dividends.

When that time came, what would he have to compete with her? How could they compete?
