Chapter 172

Shang Lu smiled, "Mother Zhao, of course someone can get the millions of dollars you mentioned, but that's the price of a big star. Zhao Rong is playing a supporting role in our movie this time. There are not many roles, she is a newcomer, she is not well-known, and the salary of 10 yuan is already quite a lot."

She knew that Zhao's mother would open her mouth like a lion, but she didn't expect that the other party's appetite was so big.

Zhao's mother just heard that being an actor is paid a lot, and she doesn't know exactly how much it is.

Now she is just like haggling at the vegetable market, no matter how much she has, she will report it to the higher place first.

Especially since Shang Lu looks young, Zhao's mother wants to take advantage of it.

It's just that she didn't expect that Shang Lu didn't accept this at all.

Tell her every word very clearly, it is impossible to give so much money.

She became anxious all of a sudden, "I heard from my relatives that acting can earn a lot of money, at least hundreds of thousands, how could it be only 10?"

Her tone of voice was getting higher and higher, as if she was about to come over to grab money in the next second.

Shang Lu leaned on the back of the sofa, didn't bother to pay attention to her, but asked the secretary to come in.

Soon, a woman came in from outside the door, Shang Lu raised her chin, "Take Zhao Rong to another room first, and I will have a good chat with this lady."

Zhao's mother was still not happy, so she quickly grabbed Zhao Rong's arm and pulled her arm so painfully.

"Wait, you can't take the child away, are you trying to trick her into signing the contract?"

The secretary smiled, "Ma'am, minors need to sign the contract with their guardian. If you don't sign it, it will have no legal effect."

Afterwards, she forcefully pushed Mother Zhao's hand away, "Also, you hurt the child from pinching it, look, it's all purple, I'll take the child to the next door to apply medicine."

Zhao's mother didn't care at first, but when she saw that Zhao Rong's arms were really purple, she was embarrassed to stop her.

Zhao Rong stood there, at the mercy of others like a puppet, without saying a word.

The secretary gently took her hand, "Go, Auntie will give you the medicine first."

After Zhao Rong left, Shang Lu formally communicated with Mother Zhao.

After all, there are children around, and watching them discuss such things will not have a good influence on the children.

But Zhao's mother didn't realize it at all, and instead regarded the child as a bargaining chip.

"Mother Zhao, to be honest, if you are still not satisfied with the salary, we don't have to talk about it. At worst, I can find other young actors, and she is not the only one."

Her tone was firm, and there was no room for turning back.

Zhao's mother wanted to ask for more money, but she didn't mess up the matter. If it was dirty, how would she buy her son's house?
"Wait, business director, this matter can still be discussed. To be honest, my family is in a difficult situation. My husband has lost money for everything he has done in the past two years. The family is almost unable to solve the problem. We have to rely on this money for food."

Mother Zhao burst into tears, as if she would be hungry tomorrow.

After singing, reciting, and beating, Shang Lu shouted out loud, the tears came as soon as he said it, comparable to a professional actor.

Shang Lu couldn't help laughing, "You said your family has no money to eat?"

Mother Zhao still had tears on her face, and her black eyeliner was smudged, which looked a little funny.

"Yes, these two years have been difficult, too difficult."

"Then why does Zhao Rong still go to dance school? I remember, the tuition is not cheap."

Shang Lu has long noticed that Zhao Rong's family background seems to be average, but since she was able to dance from elementary school, it was a considerable fee, where did the money come from?
When she asked, Zhao's mother seemed a little embarrassed, "This, this, yes, the child's father came."

"The child's father? Didn't you say you have no money? Why is the child's father rich again?"

Shang Lu pressed on step by step.

Zhao's mother gritted her teeth, "Zhao Rong is my ex-husband's child. We divorced a long time ago, and she awarded it to me. Last year, the child's father had an accident. She usually lives at grandma's house. The tuition fees and so on are all paid by the child's father." stayed."

Looking at her expression, Shang Lu knew she was lying.

Things here are definitely not that simple.

But Shang Lu didn't intend to continue to press her, "Okay, I don't need to know all these things. But, I am a filmmaker, and the money is all paid by investors. To Zhao Rong, I can only give 10 If you agree, then sign the contract, if not, I will find someone else."

What, find someone else?

This is not good, 10 is not a lot of money.

Looking at Shang Lu's expression, Zhao's mother finally decided that there was no turning back, so she could only grit her teeth and sign the contract.

The filming time is three months, and Zhao Rong needs to stay on the set, and parents can follow the set.

After signing, Mother Zhao flicked the pen and asked impatiently, "Shall I transfer the money now?"

Shang Lu couldn't help laughing this time, "I can only pay half, and the remaining half will be paid after the shoot."

"What? You're not going to renege on your debt, are you?" Mother Zhao stood up abruptly, her eyes as red as an old cow's.

Shang Lu nodded at the contract on the table, "It's written in the contract, if you don't want to, you can sue us."

Not to mention, just now Zhao's mother didn't care about other contents of the contract at all. She only saw that the salary was indeed 10, so she hurriedly signed it.

Now, she is suffering even more and cannot tell.

In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say, "Okay, 5 is 5."

Shang Lu sighed, there was no way, Zhao Rong was underage, no matter what he did, he couldn't get around Zhao's mother.

What's more, Zhao Rong's father passed away, so the guardianship must be in the hands of her mother, and no matter what she does, she has to be controlled by the other party.

She does have an idea, she can protect Zhao Rong, but the other party may not agree.

Meeting such an unreliable family, it is difficult for Zhao Rong, who is still a child, to go out completely independently.

Unless, her custody changes.

But judging by her mother's attitude, she probably regarded her as a cash cow, so it might be difficult.

Mother Zhao who got the money looked at the numbers on the phone and laughed.

I got 5 yuan for nothing without doing anything. Acting is really a good job with fast money.

"When the time comes to film, you can come with Zhao Rong."

Shang Lu raised her mouth casually.

Sure enough, the other party's reaction was as she expected, Mother Zhao frowned hard, "I have a lot of work at home, going there won't delay my earning money, just let the child go by himself."

Look, Zhao's mother is really cruel enough to throw an underage child directly to the crew.

Seeing this, Shang Lu didn't say much, anyway, in her crew, she didn't allow things like unspoken rules to happen.

Whoever crosses the line will be fired from her.

What's more, a minor like Zhao Rong should be well protected.

The entertainment circle is not so glamorous, if you enter this circle too early, it is easy to lose your sense of normalcy.

Before leaving, Shang Lu sent a message to Zhao Rong.

She glanced at Shang Lu, said nothing, and nodded slightly.

Shang Lu knew that the child understood.
