Chapter 167
“Then find yourself an assistant. You’ll need someone to help you on set, so don’t let that affect the shooting.”
Celeste was emotionally excited, but she kept her cool and answered softly, “I won’t.”
Lorinda didn’t want to stay here anymore and left angrily while Celeste was looking at the contract.
The other people chatted with Zach for a while and then left one after another.
Soon, only Celeste, Zach, and his assistant were left in the conference room.
The contract was actually a standard industry template, with just two additional clauses in the obligations of Party B.
One was to re-register on Twitter during the contract period to cooperate with the show’s promotion, and the other was not to engage in other industries during the promotional period.
These two clauses were clearly targeting her previous profession..
Celestial Haze was her last trump card, which could not be exposed too early.
Celeste had no objections. In fact, she hadn’t taken any voice acting jobs for almost half a year before this..
Just as Celeste was about to sign, Trisha pulled her aside and whispered, “Letti, isn’t the salary too low?”
The pay in the contract was based on the entire show, with a pre-tax amount of 200,000 for 120 days of shooting.
This role had quite a lot of screen time and was indeed too low by market standards.
After deducting taxes, plus hiring an assistant, necessary expenses for the crew, and spending on promotion, Celeste probably wouldn’t make much money after shooting this show.
Celeste also whispered, “Let’s work with him first. Plus, it’s not like we’re making a lifetime of money from this one job. What if this show makes me famous? Won’t I have more opportunities later?”
Zach was sipping his coffee, and were they acting like he couldn’t hear them?
The conference room had sound focusing, and there were only four people in the room. Even if their voices were small, he could still hear them.
Trisha thought about it and found it very reasonable, so they quickly signed the contract.
Celeste sighed in relief and extended her hand to Zach, “Mr. Miller, I look forward to working with you.”
Zach shook her hand and said lightly, “We’re colleagues now, no need to be so polite.”
Celeste really needed to change her habit of complaining about others!
The assistant took the contract and handed her the complete script.
“When you have free time at home, you’d better read the entire script. This role is very important to the whole show. If you mess up, don’t blame me for being blunt.”
Celeste nodded.
In her heart, she thought, who could be more straightforward than Liam?
After leaving the office building. Trisha excitedly said she wanted to buy a lottery ticket. She thought Celeste’s luck was excellent since she wasn’t supposed to be in this show but now got the opportunity and even a more important role. She wanted to try her luck by buying a lottery ticket, maybe she could win big
Celeste was also very happy, so she accompanied Trisha to buy a lottery ticket.
While they were picking numbers, Celeste’s phone rang. She checked the caller ID and saw it was Nicolas calling.
Celeste told Trisha she had a call and stepped aside to answer it.
“Celeste, where were you this morning?” Nicolas asked.
“I was out running some errands, Celeste replied, then asked, “What’s up?”
“Nothing much with me, but Liam’s in big trouble. If you don’t get over here, you might not see him again, Nicolas said.
Even though she knew Nicolas was joking, Celeste still felt a bit anxious. She couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean?”
“Literally what I said, Nicolas explained. “Last night, Liam got beaten up by some bad guys, and now he’s lying in the ICU. The doctor said it’s pretty
serious.”
