"What, two hundred and seventy-five million eight hundred and seventy thousand!!!"
Yaoxing's executive vice president Wen Bohao almost lost his composure and jumped up from the sofa.
The representative lawyer Shi Renhui also looked pale.
Two hundred and seventy-five million eight hundred and seventy-five million... Two hundred and seventy-five million eight hundred and seventy-five million...
Sitting on the other side, Li Yongmei, who was representing Wen Feiyan to attend the negotiation, was so frightened that her face turned blue and she smacked her lips repeatedly.
Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, millions... She kept counting in her mind, trying to figure out how much money it was.
After Li Yongmei followed Wen Feiyan, the salary in her bank account increased several times.
But she had never seen so much money in her life, and she couldn't imagine how so much money could be made just by terminating the contract.
Li Yongmei couldn't help but ask: "Why do you need so much liquidated damages? Did you make a mistake?"
Bai Yu seemed to have known they would ask this. He raised his eyebrows and pointed to a clause in the contract with the pen in his hand: "See? It states here that if the contract cannot be performed due to Party B's reasons, a penalty of 275.87 million will be paid. This clause was written when my client, Ms. An Liuli, signed the contract with the crew."
"She also wants to respond to the company's decision and terminate her contract with the crew of Flower of Thorns, formerly known as Two Lives. But the decision was made by the company, so naturally the company should bear the compensation for breach of contract. Two hundred and seventy-five million eight hundred and seventy thousand. As long as Yaoxing can pay this penalty for Ms. An Liuli, she can leave the crew now."
Speaking of this matter, An Liuli's cousin Liu Yi was the smartest one.
Because in the past few years, although An Liuli's reputation in the circle has collapsed, it has not reached the point where she is completely unable to take on any roles.
Occasionally, she would be able to rely on her past connections to get one or two roles that were lower in rank but still gave her room to play a role.
That kind of role, although not the protagonist, can still attract a lot of fans once it is played well.
But coincidentally, whenever An Liuli got such a role, Yaoxing would always interfere.
Either she refuses to act directly, or she cancels the contract.
Anyway, the Wen family has plenty of money, and Yaoxing can afford the penalty.
Because the contract was with Yaoxing, the company paid the penalty for breach of contract and forcibly terminated the contract, and An Liuli had no choice.
After a few times, An Liuli offended her old friends who were willing to help her, and she couldn't film the movie anymore.
This time, she signed the contract with the crew of "Two Lives of Flowers" because this resource was entirely obtained by An Liuli herself relying on her friendship with Yue Xinluo.
So when Liu Yi was her agent, she first signed a contract with the crew, then took it back to the company for reporting, and at the same time posted a Weibo to announce the matter.
"Liang Sheng Hua" is a big pie, and Yaoxing will not let An Liuli break the contract and withdraw immediately unless it is absolutely necessary.
By doing this, it is telling everyone that Yaoxing doesn't like An Liuli and is hiding An Liuli.
At that time, An Liuli had not yet threatened Wen Feiyan, so Wen Feiyan naturally did not let the company kill her.
Liu Yi was cautious, fearing that Wen Feiyan would become jealous of An Liuli's resurgence in the future and force her to terminate the contract, so she signed a breach of contract clause of 275.87 million yuan with the crew early on.
An Liuli didn't know about this in advance.
Even Yue Ze only saw this number when he looked through the contract.
And this just happened to be the best way for Bai Yu to help An Liuli turn things around.
"Impossible. An Liuli is a famous N-tier actress who has long been out of fashion. Why would the crew sign such a high penalty clause with her? Her worth is not worth this price at all!"
