Chapter 379: Contract Termination
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Long was a little hesitant. “If we go to court with the management company, how much will the compensation be?”
He knew very well that he would definitely have to pay the penalty if he wanted to terminate the contract in advance, but it shouldn’t be as ridiculous as two million yuan. However, he wasn’t very sure how much he had to pay.
If the penalty for breach of contract was very high, Su Long might have to consider terminating the contract in advance.
A few days ago, he and Yuan Fei unintentionally heard He Meng mention that they had spent a lot of money renting that studio, so they did not have so much cash on their books. If he had to pay a large sum of compensation for terminating the contract, Su Long did not want to cause trouble for Yu Han.
Although it was indeed uncomfortable to stay in the current company, he had been here for so many years. He would tolerate it for another year or so. After the contract expired, he would come to sign with the studio. He hoped that Yu Han would not despise him then.
He Meng could roughly guess Su Long’s thoughts when she saw his expression. She patted his shoulder vigorously. “What are you thinking? The compensation for breach of contract can be as much as it wants. It mainly depends on the resources and returns that the management company invested in you previously. Moreover, it depends on your income over the past year. According to the resources that your management company invested in you, it won’t be so easy for them to make a big claim in court.”
He Meng comforted him. “Don’t worry, we’re quite confident with our lawyers.” After all, as the number one entertainment company in the entertainment industry, Starlight Entertainment usually had to face many lawsuits. Hence, there was a very powerful legal team. They could borrow it. At most, the fees would be from the studio’s account.
Yu Han did not agree with Su Long staying in his original management company anymore, not to mention the current treatment problem. After some time, even if their drama was not as popular as in the original book, it would still become popular no matter what as long as Bai Chao did not go crazy during the editing.
If Su Long still stayed in that company, it would be too good for them. Hence, Yu Han was the first to disagree.
“You’re so young, but you like to think too much.” Yu Han’s words were very straightforward. “If you’re worthless, or if we think you’re a burden, we’ll definitely say it directly. Since we still decided to sign a contract with you, it means that our judgment of you hasn’t changed. So you don’t have to be so kind to feel sorry for us. You just have to worry about your own matters.”
He Meng had already drafted the contract long ago. She sent the corresponding electronic version of the contract to the three of them.
“This contract’s treatment is not considered top-notch in the industry, but it’s considered generous to you as newcomers. We’ve been together for so long and can be considered friends. Let’s get the unpleasantness out of the way first. There’s no setting in this contract like the scamming terms of other companies.” He Meng paused for a moment. “Of course, if you’re worried, you can show the contract to your lawyer friends.”
“In addition, the related responsibilities and obligations are also written very clearly. I hope you can abide by them strictly. After all, our team is still at the initial stage. 1 hope that everyone can work together to welcome more development for the team.”
Su Long and Yuan Fei nodded solemnly, indicating that they would go back and study the contract. After all, with Su Long’s past record, they had to be more cautious.
On the other hand, Bai Chao was very carefree. He casually flipped through it twice and only saw one sentence saying that the studio would guarantee to invest in a filming project for him every year. Of course, the premise was that he had to produce a good proposal. He waved his hand and asked He Meng to bring over a paper contract. He could sign it immediately.
Even Yu Han, as the employer, could not help but persuade him. “Why don’t you go back and think about it? We aren’t short of a day or two.”
Bai Chao refused. “If i want to sign it, so be it. Why are you dilly-dallying?”
Yu Han was helpless. “You’re drunk now. I’m afraid you’ll regret it when you wake up tomorrow.”
If he went back on his word, it would be another troublesome matter and embarrass everyone.
However, when Bai Chao heard the word “drunk”, he immediately retorted, “I’m not drunk! How many glasses of wine have I drunk? How can I get drunk?”
He pointed at the assistant director, who was also his good friend. “Quick, record it for me. I want to sign a contract with Yu Han’s studio. I promise 1 won’t go back on my word..”
