Celeste took the document and started browsing through it.
The contract offered by Skyline Media Group had really generous terms.
After she started acting, the pay would be split 50-50, and as her fame grew, she could sign a new contract, and her share would get higher and higher.
Although Celeste had never signed with a company before, she had many classmates in the industry, so she had some knowledge of talent agencies.
For newcomers who sign with talent agencies, it’s quite easy to get scammed.
Some companies seem to sign a contract with you but don’t care about you after it’s signed.
You can’t take jobs on your own while under contract, and if that happens, the agency will have an excuse to accuse you of breach of contract, and you’ll be responsible for a huge penalty.
In recent years, many actors have been cheated by this trick. Many young actors have heavy penalties on their shoulders before they become famous. If they’re lucky, someone with a good eye will discover them and help them pay the penalty. Otherwise, they can’t prosper.
Celeste carefully read the penalty clause.
Skyline Media Group didn’t oppose actors taking jobs on their own, as long as it didn’t affect the company’s work. For any self–taken job, the company would only take 20% of the pay. However, if it affected the company’s work due to their own reasons, it would be considered a breach of contract.
The penalty was 1 million US dollars.
This price was reasonable.
This contract could be said to be quite friendly to her.
Celeste felt the contract was too good, and she suspected Steven had some ulterior motives.
She recalled what Nathan had said in the car and looked at Steven’s happy expression. She fell into deep thought.
“What’s up?” Steven asked, “If you aren’t satisfied with anything, we can discuss it.”
Celeste was silent for a moment and said, “I don’t accept any shady deals.”
“Huh?” Steven was a bit dumbfounded.
Celeste looked straight at him, “Nathan told me about your situation in the car. It’s not bad. But I have no such thoughts about you, so I’m afraid I can’t sign this contract.”
Steven turned to Nathan, “What have you been saying in front of her?”
Nathan was stunned, “Didn’t you have a crush on Ms. Campbell?”
“Huh!” Steven couldn’t help but shout, “I value her abilities!”
Nathan had no response.
Was his boss lying? Why did he investigate other people’s family backgrounds? Even the age when they went to school, when they were sick, and what treatment they received were checked.
Celeste observed the expressions of the two, and Steven’s expression didn’t seem like he was interested in her.
She had only met Steven a few times. Why would he be interested in her?
It would be a different story if he liked her looks.
Celeste looked at Steven.
She thought if Steven were a woman, he would be even prettier than her.
She took a deep breath and said, “I must have misunderstood.”
“It’s his nonsense, it has nothing to do with you,” Steven paused, “Are there any problems with the contract?”
