Chapter 209 "Uncle's Test" (Script)

Four people, four videos.

Each session lasts only ten minutes or so.

Chen Yu only glanced at 34 of them, which took no more than ten minutes. There was no need to watch the whole thing. After watching just a few clips, Chen Yu was able to get a sense of the level of acting skills of these four people.

Moreover, all four videos were dramas, with only Chen He having a small film clip, but it wasn't very telling.

After all, he was just a minor supporting character, only slightly better than a bit player.

"Xiao You, give a score!" Chen Yu said.

"Jiangsu Film: Acting level is excellent, potential level is also high!"

Chen He: Acting skills are top-notch, and his potential is immense!

Zheng Kai: Acting skills are top-notch, with great potential.

"Li Jinming: Acting level, potential level!"

Xiaoyou quickly gave the result, deducting 10 of Chen Yu's fan points.

Chen Yu was surprised to find that only Chen He had reached level 1, while the others were only at level 2, which seemed to indicate a lack of stage experience.

According to the data, Chen He has a relatively rich acting career, mainly because he is easy-going and cheeky, so many roles suit him.

Jiangsu Ying and the others watched Chen Yu, who was wearing headphones and watching a video, with great tension. Chen Yu's face remained unchanged, leaving them unable to guess what was going on.

"I'm so nervous! Will the Crown Prince abandon us?!" Li Jinming's small hands were clenched tightly, and the veins on them were bulging.

"Me too! Why isn't the Crown Prince showing any change in expression? He should at least give some reaction! It's driving me crazy!" Jiangsu Ying was also very nervous. She really wanted to sign a contract. Her family wasn't well-off, and she wasn't particularly outstanding herself. She didn't want to sell her body for profit.

She liked Chen Yu very much, and more importantly, Chen Yu had a very good way of doing things.

"Don't worry, no change is the best change!" Chen He comforted him.

"Chen He is right, no reaction is better than frowning!" Zheng Kai comforted him from the side.

Chen Yu closed his laptop. Seeing this, Chen He and the others quickly adjusted their posture and calmed themselves down, knowing that the important part was about to begin.

"Not bad. Although her acting skills are still a bit raw, you can tell that she is an outstanding graduate of Shanghai Opera."

Chen He performed the best among them, probably because he has performed more often and you are less familiar with each other. Chen Yu sat down and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Jiangsu Ying and the others felt much more at ease. Chen Yu's words had already told them that signing a contract was not a problem.

“You are all classmates, and in principle I should treat you all equally, but I cannot be unfair to those who perform well.”

We're all around the same age, so I won't beat around the bush. Chen He's signing fee is 2 million, and the three of you are worth 1.5 million. The profit sharing will be calculated at 40/60. Whether you can get a higher percentage depends on your performance.

If you become international superstars, a 70/30 split isn't impossible.

The contract term is 8 years, and the penalty for breach of contract is ten times that amount. Chen He's penalty is 2000 million, and the rest of you will each receive 1500 million.

After signing the contract, the company will arrange for you to join various film crews for training and auditions. The first year will be tough; you might not earn much money, as you'll need to hone your acting skills and learn the essentials of working on a film set.

After all, you've just graduated from school and are relatively weak in many aspects, lacking experience. Following in the footsteps of your seniors will solidify your foundation and definitely benefit your future development.

A solid foundation is the prerequisite for all success!

"What do you think?!" Chen Yu explained his side's conditions and ideas.

Then he quietly observed the reactions of the others.

The money Chen Yu offered was not an annual payment, but a one-time payment.

The signing fee is a small amount; the revenue sharing is the real money.

150 million is enough for these people to make a living.

Jiangsu Ying was overjoyed to hear this, as most brokerage firms offer very low signing fees, or even none at all.

But Chen Yu gave her over a million yuan, which was incredibly generous and far exceeded her expectations.

Although eight years is a long time, they all understand that actors lose money in the early stages and need one or two years to accumulate experience before they can make a profit.

"I'm fine with it!" Jiangsu Film Group stated.

“I’m fine with it too!” Li Jinming replied after seeing Jiangsu Ying nod.

“I’m fine with it too!” Zheng Kai said.

"Then I have even less of a problem," Chen He said with a sly smile.

"Wait a moment, I'll go prepare the contract. Can we sign it now?!" Chen Yu stood up and asked.

"can!"

"That's good!" About ten minutes later, Chen Yu returned with several contracts in his hands. They were all ready-made; all that was needed was to make some changes in certain places.

"Take a look at these contracts, are they okay?" Chen Yu distributed the four contracts to the four people.

Chen He and the others took the contract and looked at it carefully.

In about ten minutes, I finally finished reading the 20-page contract.

"I'm OK!"

"I don't have any problem either!"

All four of them said it was no problem.

With signatures and fingerprints, Crazy Entertainment has gained four new actors.

"Welcome to the r family. Your Weibo account will be verified soon. Remember that Weibo is a great communication platform. Update your status more often and interact with your fans."

"I'll also give you a short skit script. Study it carefully. This script must not be leaked; only the four of you are allowed to know it. I hope we can have a pleasant and enjoyable collaboration over the next eight years!" Chen Yu stood up, extended his palm, and smiled.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate and get along well!" The group clapped their hands and laughed.

Chen Yu chose the sketch "The Uncle's Test" by Happy Twist on Hunan TV in 2013 for the four people, which was also used to participate in the crosstalk and sketch competition.

"This is Uncle Xiaopin's test script. Go back and prepare. You will be participating in the recent crosstalk and sketch competition, and I will also be participating."

"We might even have a showdown on the field someday. This is a great opportunity to build your popularity, so you must seize it." Chen Yu handed the script to his advisor and said solemnly.

"Also, if you don't have classes at school, just come to Crazy Entertainment in Beijing. There are rehearsal spaces and equipment here. Although it's in the suburbs, it's better to rehearse quietly. You just need to thoroughly understand this script. I believe that with your current acting skills, you can definitely handle this script."

"Okay, we'll go back and submit an application to the school, and then we'll come over!" Chen He nodded.

He knew this was an opportunity; Chen Yu was paving the way for them!

A crosstalk and sketch comedy competition is indeed a good place to attract attention. They are newcomers with no fame and need this kind of competition to increase their exposure.

They attach great importance to the upcoming crosstalk and sketch comedy competition, especially since it involves stage plays, something they are already familiar with. To be continued.
