590 Someone Smart

“So, what do you think?” Song Ci threw the question back.

Qian Wu frowned and fell silent. He was used to being arrogant and was not used to being restrained. Now that Song Ci suddenly mentioned signing a contract, he felt as if someone was walking towards him with a cage. At the same time, he felt inexplicably affirmed and valued. They wanted to sign him so badly that they were even willing to invest in him. Was it not because they saw his talent? If he had met someone as talented as him, he would definitely want to snatch him first!

Qian Wu looked at Song Ci with more admiration at the thought. Not bad… She could see his talent at a glance. “How many years did you want to sign me for?”

“It’s usually five to ten years. What do you think?” Song Ci replied.

Qian Wu was shocked. “That won’t do. I won’t be able to stand it for so long.”

“Three years?”

“That’s still too long,” Qian Wu said.

“Three movies, then.”

“What do you mean? Does that include this movie?” Qian Wu was puzzled.

“For this movie, the company can provide you with all the resources within our capabilities. However, you’d need to sign three more movie offers with us. It can be a movie or a series, and this will be decided by the company. No matter how the movie does, you’ll have to help the company shoot three movies in the future. Of course, as the director, you’ll also be paid for these three films. What do you think?”

“So I’ll have to film whatever you want me to film?” Qian Wu frowned.

“We will choose for you.” Song Ci did not give a definite answer.

“What if I don’t want to do it?”

Song Ci smiled very politely. “Then you can only choose the one you like more.”

Qian Wu was speechless. What a profiteer!

“Signing a contract isn’t a small matter, so think about it carefully.” Song Ci’s tone was calm and composed. “I don’t think this is a bad thing for you. To be honest, I recommended you to the company because I saw your ability. However, there is no shortage of talent in this world. It is just that we lack the eyes to discover them. We are not in a hurry. No offense, but with you not being a famous director, it’s very risky for us to work with you. As a director, you need opportunities to train. If you sign a contract with the company, there’s a guaranteed minimum of three shows to shoot. This will undoubtedly give you more opportunities and be able to make money. Isn’t that the best of both worlds?”

Qian Wu did not say anything and sipped his tea in silence.

Song Ci did not force him. After exchanging a few more words with him, she prepared to leave. “Feel free to contact me at any time once you’ve made your decision.”

Qian Wu felt that there was nothing much for him to think about. He really wanted a chance. If he gave it up just like that, he might never get another chance. He could only go home dejectedly and would never be satisfied for the rest of his life. Thinking of this, he suddenly stood up and looked at Song Ci’s back. “Wait. I don’t need to think about it any longer. I agree.”

Song Ci was pleasantly surprised. “I’m glad to hear it. Let’s sign the contract in two days. Then, you can start preparing for the shoot. There’s no time to waste.”

After Qian Wu heard this, he was finally happy again. He was most worried when he came that Song Ci would tell him that the script was good, but the director was not good enough. He did not expect her to want to sign him. Now he did not feel restricted anymore.

“Alright,” Qian Wu said readily. He watched as Song Ci got into the car and walked back with Shi Mingyu. He could not help but say to Shi Mingyu, “I couldn’t tell before, but Song Ci is quite smart. She could tell at a glance that I’d definitely do well in this movie and was so anxious to sign me to protect my talent. She has a rare gift.”

Shi Mingyu was speechless. Did he not think she wanted something from him now?

Song Ci got into the car and was about to report the situation to Lu Gan when her phone rang. It was Song He!

Song Ci’s smiled. Se picked up the call and said in a pure and innocent voice, “Hi, daddy.”

“Where have you been? Are you back yet? I’ve divorced Pang Xiaohui. Let’s have dinner together once you’re back. I haven’t seen you in a long time. I miss you.” Song He said with a chuckle.

“Sure.” Song Ci agreed.

“Bring along those transfer agreements with you too. That way, you won’t have to go through so much trouble.” Song He reminded.
