Chapter 258 Contract Signing
"Here, why don’t you take a look and let us know if there’s anything you’d like to discuss? We’re flexible and want to ensure everyone’s satisfaction," Betty said, placing the pre-prepared contract on the table. She always kept contracts ready for various artist levels, from the lowest to A-list, to expedite signings in situations like this one, ensuring no time was wasted.
It was also a strategic move to make use of the artist’s enthusiasm, ensuring they signed the contract while feeling that the offer presented was ideal, minimizing the opportunity for them to rethink and negotiate further.
It’s a shrewd approach, but they are ultimately representing the company’s interests. This tactic is particularly effective with newcomers who may not fully understand the industry norms. However, veterans are more likely to take their time, carefully consider the terms, and may propose adjustments or additions to the contract before agreeing to sign, ensuring it aligns closely with their needs and expectations.
"Um, Senior, could you please help me check?" Logan looked at Hera with puppy-dog eyes before continuing earnestly. "I’m new to all this and not sure what’s best for me. I trust your judgment the most. Could you please take a look and advise me?"
Now, all eyes turned to Hera again, who felt as though she had suddenly become Logan’s guardian. She didn’t refuse his plea and picked up the contract laid on the table, methodically reading through each clause.
She noticed that Betty had prepared an A-list contract for Logan, mirroring hers. As she read through each clause, Hera found herself raising her eyebrows in surprise. Everything outlined in the contract was top-notch, just a notch below hers but still superior to offers from other companies. It was clear from the contract how earnest they were about signing Logan.
Although Betty had a pre-prepared A-list contract, it was categorized into three tiers based on the compensation and treatment offered to A-list artists. This structure was nearly akin to a customized version, ensuring that any additional demands from the other party would still be accommodated within reasonable limits.
Now that Hera had reviewed the contract, she turned to Logan and began explaining each clause to ensure he understood everything. She asked if he had any special terms he wanted to add. Logan shook his head, clearly content with the benefits and earnings outlined. His happy smile left Hera shaking her head in resignation before giving Logan a nod of approval.
"The contract looks good and shows the company’s sincerity in signing you as an A-list artist under the same manager as me," Hera explained, tapping on the spot where Logan needed to sign. "If you agree to all the terms written in the contract, you can sign here and officially become a part of this company," she concluded in a professional tone.
