There was no logic to such a ratio. It was a blatant scam. They were obviously trying to humiliate her.
It must be Yuan Yu's doing!
It must have been Yuan Yu's doing!
That Teacher Cloud Seven must be in cahoots with Yuan Yu. She had purposely used the role of the second female lead to lure them in. So this was what she was waiting for!
"This is just a precautionary measure." Hu Zheng adjusted his glasses and looked at her seriously. "It's not that we don't trust Miss Li, we're just worried that someone will break the contract. As long as you and Miss Su stick to the contract, why would there be a breach of contract?"
After reading the contract, he felt that it was too much. It was the first time he had seen such a contract after being in the industry for so long. However, Sensei Cloud Seven had said that the contract for the actors of "The Smiling Nation" was the same.
Filming was not child's play, especially when it was Teacher Cloud Seven's show. Every detail was strictly controlled and there was no room for carelessness. If any actor suddenly decided to quit, it would be a huge problem for the crew. The biggest reason was that Teacher Cloud Seven said it would seriously affect her mood.
Li Jingran's eyes were cold and her mind was full of thoughts. She suppressed the indignation in her heart and sized Hu Zheng up with penetrating eyes. She did not want to miss any subtle changes in his expression and asked, "Do the other actors have the same contract?"
She wanted to be sure that she and Wanwan weren't the only ones who had signed such an insulting contract. Every actor had signed it.
Hu Zheng nodded. "Of course. Miss Li, if you don't believe me, you can ask around. Everyone in the crew is treated equally, regardless of whether they are veterans or newbies. The terms of the contract for" The Smiling Nation "are the same."
He was in charge of the contract, so he could tell her the truth responsibly.
Li Kyung-ran understood. It was a matter of willingness. If one didn't sign the contract, there would be plenty of others who would. She could understand why the actors of "The Smiling Nation" would sign the contract. After all, they were all newbies and opportunities were more important than anything else. They wouldn't think so much.
However, if she were to sign such a contract, she would still feel a little uneasy. What was the reason for the breach of contract to be a thousand times higher?
"Miss Li, we're not in a hurry." Seeing her hesitation, Hu Zheng smiled and said, "You can go back and think about it. Give us an answer within two days. If you and Miss Su decide not to act, we still have to find actors."
For Teacher Yun Qi's new drama, not to mention a thousand times the penalty, even if it was set at ten thousand times the penalty, there would still be many people fighting to sign it. For this kind of thing, as long as there was no breach of contract, there would be no need to pay the penalty.
Li Kyung-ran did not say anything.
When Su Ruowan heard Hu Zheng's words, she was a little anxious. Everyone else signed the same contract. So what if they signed it? As long as they didn't breach the contract, wouldn't it be fine?
She wanted this role. She had to play it. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to become famous overnight!
However, she did not dare to speak. She only stood obediently beside Li Kyung-ran. She had always maintained the image of an obedient girl since she was a child.
Li Kyung-ran still looked indifferent. She did not dare to hear Hu Zheng say that they would not sign the contract and would change actors. Her heart skipped a beat. She said calmly, "Director Hu, let's go back and think about it."
She did not dare to mess around with this kind of thing. She wanted to discuss it with her husband and see what he would say. Could it be a trap set by Yuan Yu to lure them in?
Su Ruowan really wanted to shout that she was willing. No matter what kind of contract it was, she was willing to sign it right now. She did not need to think about it. Teacher Yun Qi must have chosen her because she liked it. It was definitely not a scheme.
Otherwise, Su Mushi had already rejected her once during "The Smiling Nation." Why would she come to her mother and her for the new drama? She must still think that she was the best choice. Teacher Yun Qi had a good eye for talent. She was about to shine.
"Okay." Hu Zheng did not say anything else. There were so many actors in the entertainment industry. Which one of them did not want to act in Teacher Yun Qi's new drama? If they did not act in it, there were plenty of other actors. There was no need to worry about not finding a suitable candidate.
Li Kyung-ran nodded at him and left with Su Ruowan.
Su Ruowan followed behind her. She could not hide the disappointment in her eyes.
Li Kyung-ran naturally knew how much she wanted to act in this role. She taught her the basic rules of survival in the entertainment industry. "Wanwan, such a high penalty is very unreasonable. Before signing the contract, you have to be careful. Don't be blinded by it. What Hu Zheng said might not be true."
Su Ruowan nodded obediently. "Mom, I know."
She was not convinced. What if something happened during these two days of consideration? What if Teacher Yun Qi changed actors because of their hesitation? As long as she did not sign the contract, she would not be able to calm down. She would be on tenterhooks all the time.
In the corridor and in the hall, there were many people waiting for the audition. Everyone was doing their own thing. Some were practicing in front of the mirror, some were practicing in front of the video, and some were chatting.
Su Ruowan looked at these people and felt more and more anxious. She was afraid. She was afraid that one of them would take away the role that originally belonged to her. She wanted to rush back now and ask Hu Zheng for the contract. She would only feel at ease after signing the contract.
As she lifted her head and glanced over, she saw a familiar figure. She wanted to tear her apart and eat her up. Her gaze froze and hatred flashed across her eyes. She tugged at Li Kyung-ran and pointed, "Mom, look at that person. Isn't that Sister?"
Shen Xi!
Why is she here?
Didn't she say that she would not enter the entertainment industry?
Is she here for the audition too? What role is she auditioning for? Female lead? Secondary lead? Or supporting female lead?
At this moment, many thoughts ran through her mind. She began to feel afraid. An inexplicable fear spread throughout her body. She was afraid that Shen Xi would take away the role that originally belonged to her.
By the time Li Jingran looked over, the figure had already turned the corner and disappeared into the corridor. However, it was just a glimpse that allowed her to make out that it was Shen Xi.
That disobedient and unfilial brat. Even if she turned into ashes, she would still recognize her!
"Mom, is Sister also here for the audition? Which role is she playing?" Su Ruowan looked very happy for her. "It would be great if she is chosen. We can be in the same crew."
Li Kyung-ran's eyes darkened. She did not say anything. She just lifted her feet and walked quickly in the direction that Shen Xi had disappeared. When she reached the end of the corridor, she was stopped by the staff. That was the audition area. She could not enter without calling her name.
"Sister, that beautiful girl who just passed by, which role is she auditioning for?" Su Ruowan asked the staff politely.
