Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

“We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with you, but there are some things we must address upfront,” the producers told Jane.

“When we work with any artist now, a contract must be signed. If the artist has image problems that lead to a program’s failure, compensation is required.”

Since they were now working with Jane’s company, her company also had to sign contracts, other than the artists who have to sign relevant contracts.

This was not common in the past, as most people only participated in one or two episodes of variety shows.

Only A-list stars would appear on a whole variety show from start to finish.

Nowadays, the producers even require a contract to be signed with guests who will only appear in one or two episodes.

This shows their prevention strategy for these related departments.

Although Jane explained that her company’s internal affairs had been rectified and there were no such problematic artists, the producers still had to follow their own ideas to ensure security measures.

“No problem, we can sign this contract with you, but the terms of the contract must be fair and just. It cannot benefit only one party, only to leave other parties without any responsibility.”

“The agreement must include principles of protection for our artists. Whether it be time for appearing or conditions for recording, these must be reflected in the contract,” the assistant directly told the producers. Their demands were not unreasonable.

Previously, the two sides had only worked with a form and did not include it on the contract.

Since the other party made the request now, it is only fair to enforce it in the contractual agreement. The producers nodded their heads.

In fact, Jane’s pricing was reasonable. The pricing was not high; it was actually lower than other companies’ reported prices.

This makes sense and appeals to the producers, indicating their recognition.

After signing the contract, it was only necessary to follow through on the execution.

“Okay, we will go back and hold a meeting. If feasible, we will send you the relevant agreement, and you must inform us of any requirements as soon as possible.”

“We hope that our cooperation can create an exciting variety show, which can get high ratings and elevate your artists,” said the producers, indicating their willingness to cooperate. They just need to research the remaining details.

Jane stood up happily and nodded. The producers did not want Jane’s artists to sign contracts with other programs, leaving them no other choices.

Therefore, they initiated the cooperation, and Jane’s answer showed her attitude.

In the afternoon, Jane met with five or six directors and finished negotiations with several producers, but it exhausted her.

“The outcome of the negotiations is good. At least half can be established, and this means there are many opportunities for our artists to find work!” said the assistant excitedly. They had been busy the last few days, but their efforts were not in vain since almost half of their idle artists have found new work.

If the number of successful talks reached one-half, more than seventy to eighty percent of the artists could participate in work again.

This is normal in any company’s rotation.

When the other employees of the company heard about the news, they were excited.

Only when the artists start working again can they earn money. If not, except for the office staff, the remaining assistants and security personnel are idle at home.

Their salaries are at the basic living expense level.

“Okay, continue to be busy. And deal with the remaining small companies,” Jane instructed.

“You have been with me to negotiate for an entire day, so you know what direction and principles to follow!” she told her assistant.

Jane brought her assistant along to negotiate, not because she could not handle things alone.

It was to let her assistant understand something.

Now her assistant understands how to handle the remaining work.

When Jane was about to go home, she received a call from Mr. Blackwood.

“We found some issues with your company during our inspection a few days ago. You have to come to our office tomorrow to talk about it. We will wait for you at 9:00 a. m.!” Mr. Blackwood said over the phone.

There was no chance for Jane to refuse.

After he hung up the phone, Mr. Blackwood looked at Mr. Holden beside him.

“Lately, many of Jane’s artists have started working, so we must remind Jane’s company,” he said.

“Especially when I saw some notifications online, and some people have participated in performances. They must adhere to industry standards.”

Mr. Blackwood is not someone who speaks carelessly. He has collected information and found that two people from Jane’s company participated in an online performance with problematic content.

He also felt that certain aspects of their participation were not appropriate.

Therefore, he needs to talk to Jane, and if she does not make timely corrections, he will take action.

When Jane returned home, Harrison had already arrived and was playing with their two children.

She saw Jane and asked the babysitter to look after the children.

“Are you so busy? Didn’t I tell you not to overwork? Look at your tired face!” Harrison said.

“Tiring is normal. I need to find work for them first!” Jane said.

“People from related departments are also not at peace. They want to talk to me tomorrow. Actually, I know what they’re implying!” Jane is not foolish. She knows the relevant departments are scrutinizing her company and will magnify any mistakes.

“These people take trifling issues and make it a big deal. They ruined the entertainment industry!” Harrison expressed his dissatisfaction with the actions of the relevant departments.

For when there is a need for rectification, they cannot find these people.

Now that the entertainment industry has descended into a cold winter, these people are starting to become active.

“I can’t say that; they have related regulations now, and we can only handle it calmly,” Jane said with an open mind. It is not possible to hold an opinion on the system since it is a regulation by the relevant departments and requires unconditional execution.
