Chapter 328: Attractive Remuneration

“Clean up the present mess before talking about anything else,” Ji Lin said in a lukewarm tone.
Qin Zhou was distressed again.
Qin Zhou, Yun Shishi, and Jun Mo had a simple lunch that noon before they returned to the office for a respite.
Jun Mo, after adjusting herself into a comfortable position, took a siesta in the authentic leather chair.
Qin Zhou, meanwhile, took this chance to tour Yun Shishi around the headquarters and showed her to each floor.
Huanyu Tower soared high into the skies; it was extremely magnificent. Standing at 50-story tall, it was a building within sight but beyond reach.
This was her first time taking a closer look at this entertainment empire, which had captured the attention of the entire globe.
Huanyu owned two large-scale production companies and three mainstream media outlets. It encompassed everything from movies and soap operas to records. This massive entertainment empire operated entirely within this tower.
As the famous star-making factory of people’s dreams, those that were signed on Huanyu, whoever they were, would strike ears like the roar of thunder.
At present, within the entertainment industry, the top four newbie actors and the top four actors for historical productions, as well as Yang Mi, Han Yuyan, Yan Bingqing, Li Jiuxian, Lu Junyu… All these in-demand celebrities were under Huanyu.
This company was no longer an ordinary milestone but a tycoon monopolizing the entire entertainment industry.
Qin Zhou brought her around the rehearsal rooms, recording studios, and the interview halls, then he took her to meet a few famous drama producers and executives.
Her appropriate and graceful conduct left a lasting impression to the people she met.
Many had great expectations for this rookie.
Soon after, he briefly let her in on the details of her remuneration.
It was… unexpectedly attractive.
The pay ratio stated in the contract was very handsome.
Usually, newly debuted artistes under Huanyu had a pay ratio of 7:3 – seven to the company and three to the artiste – as this split took training and image building of the talents into consideration.
Hers was split 5:5.
What did this mean?
Take the movie ‘Green Apple’ as an example; Gu Xingze’s remuneration was split 6:4 as per his contract with Huanyu. If his pay for the movie was 50 million, from this amount, Huanyu would deduct 20 million and he would be left with 30 million.
This was already the most generous remuneration Huanyu had agreed on.
As for her, she would be paid five million for her part in that movie. Since 50 percent of that pay would go into her pockets, that was equivalent to two million five hundred thousand in pay.
Putting that aside, Huanyu would also arrange a vehicle to facilitate their artiste’s movement.
She was provided with a Volkswagen Phaeton.
Even as a rookie, the company would make every effort to reduce their exposure to the public. Huanyu was very experienced in protecting their artiste’s privacy.
As long as one was from Huanyu, it was impossible for even professional paparazzi to get any piece of information on the artiste.
Those private pictures of artistes posted on entertainment news sites were simply the artistes themselves seeking exposure by cooperating with paparazzi to create hype.
What was waiting for her next was a very long and intensive training course.
One of the most critical parts of training was the cultivation of an actor.
Regardless of outward traits—appearances, auras, and movements—or inner traits—speech style, mannerism, and acting skills—Yun Shishi was deemed as a talent in all departments.
She just needed a little more polishing.
In the history books of Huanyu Entertainment, an artiste with both looks and skills had yet to appear.
Thus, Ji Lin especially took notice of her.
She simply lacked the skill to improvise.
