Chapter 224: Chapter 224
After Lucas said this, he was secretly observing Chase's expression.
He initially thought that Chase would be frightened and panicked.
However, he was disappointed at Chase's response.
All Chase did was chortling as he replied, "I thought it was something more serious. If we can't get influencers to show up in our movie, can't we just use the artists we already have in our company? We should always keep the good ones to ourselves, Lucas was dumbstruck for a moment before he answered, "The artists in our company? But all of our artists, except Elena, are not well-known. Also, Director Lu, those artists are very difficult to communicate with. Artists these days are very snobbish. They always want us to pay them exorbitantly to play in the movies. Since we have so little funds, I am afraid that they will not be willing to Chase frowned and interjected. "In this case, we can pay them something else. Perhaps some other benefits.
Lucas looked puzzled. He could not keep up with Chase's thought process.
Chase continued, "For example, we can promise them that as long as they are willing to be part of this movie, we will sign a long-term contract with them. Make the penalty for a breach of contract 50 million yuan per person. That should be slightly higher than what we usually set. This can also reflect our company's sincerity to them. Well, if it's still not enough, we can arrange for them to travel abroad for free after the filming is done. The company will bear the expenses.
Lucas almost burst out laughing listening to Chase's suggestion.
What an idiot!
This silly move could not be more brilliant!
Lucas could not wait to see Chase pushing himself into his own grave!
Hahaha!
Chase probably did not know that he was setting himself up for trouble!
He not only offered to renew the contract for those small-time artists but also with such a high penalty fee? If the shareholders learned about it, wouldn't they be furious again!
He really knew nothing about how the entertainment industry worked!
For a celebrity like Elena, the penalty fee would go up to 60 million yuan at most.
This brat had actually offered 50 million yuan for each artist in their company!
There were at least 10 artists in their company!
Was he going to treat these small-time actors like superstars!
This was fascinating He even offered them to travel abroad!
What a brainless nove!
His silliness had made Lucas on cloud nine!
Lucas responded immediately, "Alright, then I will tell the artists as you said. It might work. But should we inform the shareholders "No need. You're fully in charge of this matter. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility. I believe in you," Chase spoke.
Chase's reply rejuvenated Lucas and made his blood boil with excitement!
What an idiot!
Chase did not even know that he was going to be double crossed!
This movie was going to be fun!
They should wait and see!
Lucas went out to settle this matter immediately.
He had great authority and prestige in the company. No way that those little artists, who were on the brink of being laid off, would turn his offer down.
However, Lucas had other plans.
He called his confidant and ordered, "Go to the office and find ten small-time artists for me.
When the man was about to nod. Lucas suddenly showed a suillen smile and added. "These ten people must have the most terrible acting skills. Their characters and reputations should be of the worst as well. A person who can't recite lines and has exaggerated acting skills is exactly the candidate we are looking for. It would be a plus point if he or she is arrogant Lucas's confidant was stunned. He asked, "Mr. Zhang, these people will be fired at any time. Why would you Just do whatever I said!" Lucas yelled, irked.
The man went out in a respectful manner to execute Lucas's order.
After that, Lucas hummed a song with his legs crossed
He thought, "Chase, oh, Chase. I guess you wouldn't have thought that the quality of the people I found for you would be so bad, wouldn't you? Hahaha!"
How spectacular would the movie be with such actors involved?
The shareholders would watch the movie and realized that Chase had renewed these lousy artist's contracts with such a sky-high penalty fee. On top of that, Chase even arranged for them to travel abroad for free. The shareholders were surely going to blow up.
What made Lucas happier was that this idiot was practically serving himself on a silver platter to him.
From now on, these ten people were going to be so grateful and loyal to him.
He'd gain so much from all of it. He was definitely going to win this race Right then, Lucas received another call. It was Ryan After listening to Ryan's words, Lucas could not help but burst into laughter in the office. Oh. Chase. What did he do? Everyone was turning their backs against him. Everyone was waiting to ruin him.
Lucas was convinced that he was going to win and take over Chase soon!
"Ryan, I know you've worked hard in this. I will repay you well when the time comes", Lucas said. He had once again mastered another trump card, and for a while, he did not know which method he should use to destroy Chase.
When Chase went back that night, he threw the bag of fine quality Sakura Tea on the table.
When he returned to the room, he found that Bella had fallen asleep.
She took over Ethan's company recently, it must be really tiring to juggle everything.
Ethan's company was full of his cronies so it was not so easy for her to handle it.
Chase slept through the night. When he woke up, he went out to have breakfast.
But in the living room, he met an unexpected guest.
It was Kaleb.
Kaleb seemed to have been very close to jane these days, he actually appeared at their home early in the morning When Bella saw Chase walk out of their bedroom, she greeted him with a dejected expression and told him to come over to the dining room for breakfast.
Kaleb nodded to Chase indifferently.
He looked down on such a person who had no loyalty like Chase, Besides, Chase even slapped Jane three times in public two days ago.
He was never going to let Chase off the hook.
At this time. Jane came out of the kitchen with two dishes in her hand.
When she saw Chase, her face turned cold instantly. However, she did not make any mean remarks this time.
"Kaleb, dig in. I will serve the herbal tea eggs immediately, Jane said to Kaleb gently.
Kaleb seemed to enjoy Jane's hospitality. He replied to her with a smiling nod.
After a while, Jane brought out a plate of herbal tea eggs.
Bella took one for Chase and one for herself.
After a bite, Bella asked. "Mom, the herbal tea eggs you made today have such a strong aroma.
Chase took a bite too, but frowned.
Jane pointed to the bag of tea leaves under the table and answered, "Oh, I ran out of tea leaves. I happened to see a bag of teas left on the table in the morning, so I used it to make herbal tea eggs. I've put more tea leaves this time, so I guess it will have a richer taste.
Chase responded calmly, That bag of tea is mine."
Jane sneered. "So what? You have been having free meals at my home for ten years. Are you going to be calculative with me for using 20 sachets of your tea leaves?"
Chase decided to let it pass. However, Kaleb chimed in coldly,"Jane, I don't want him to use this matter to make you give in to him in the future!"
With that, Kaleb took five hundred yuan from his pocket and threw it to Chase. Take it. It should be more than enough to buy your 20 sachets of tea leaves."
