Chapter 73 Are You Threatening Me

• “Ten million is the maximum amount of compensation that Ms. Hooper will be paying the company. Based on the contract that was signed three years ago, it is clearly stated that in the ten years my client is bound to Shining Entertainment, the company will at least cast my client in at least one major film and two television series. However, other than the first and second years, Shining Entertainment is unable to fulfill its promise towards Ms. Hooper. Also, in those two years, Shining Entertainment has only cast Ms. Hooper in a total of one film and two television series, one of which hasn’t been published until now. Moreover, in the previous year when Ms. Hooper was in a crisis of her profession, Shining Entertainment didn’t render her any support or legal help, which resulted in the drop in her popularity. What has distraught my client more was the fact that Shining Entertainment has chosen to side with another of its artist in a dispute between the said artist and my client, and mistreated my client. Now let me wrap this thing up. In total, the contract should last for ten years. There are still seven years more left in the contract. Since Ms. Cooper has requested for a termination of her contract, according to the contract, she will only have to pay ten million as compensation to Shining Entertainment. Any objections?”
• Fred shoved his documents forward as if he had finished presenting all of his arguments for the entire meeting.
• “Pft, do you really think you can leave Shining Entertainment just by paying us ten million? Has she even brought Shining Entertainment any benefit at all in the past three years?” One of the shareholders was boiling with rage.
