Theresa isn't silly or sweet. Despite not having much business experience, she's learned the basic law of survival in the past two years, which is to fight for her own interests.
Moreover, she's not alone now, with hundreds of young girls eating with her behind her. Naturally, she wants to fight for more benefits for everyone.
When Maggie Chen heard Theresa asking for one million, she immediately looked at Kim on the side, his assistant. Whether the money should be spent depends entirely on his decision.
Kim's expression turned extremely ugly at this time. He gritted his teeth and said, "This woman's appetite is really not small! She dares to ask for a million from me for such a small matter. It's clear that she's going to take advantage of me. Do you really not think I'm being taken advantage of?"
Seeing Kim's anger, Maggie quickly suggested, "Master, shall I reject her now?"
Kim glared at Maggie and cursed, "Do you have any brains? Now refuse her, what would I do if no one is found later, when I arrive in Wrestvel? How would you send today's press release? How would you buy hot search?"
Then, Kim said coldly, "Tell her that one million is one million, but I'll pay 500,000 first, and the remaining 500,000 will be paid after the work is over."
Kim's thinking is simple. For such a hasty matter, there's no time to sign a contract. Everything is verbally agreed upon. First, pay 500,000, and then it'll be impossible to pay the remaining 500,000.
Regardless of Kim's prosperous family, he's also a first-line star, but the sunk cost he invested in the early stage was too large.
To maintain his "top-tier" label, he needs to continue spending money, so he pays special attention to cost.
What makes him even more annoying is that to pursue Sara, he chose music to cut in. In recent years, the singer's ability to attract money is far worse than that of actors.
Regardless of various performances, variety shows, and announcements that can make tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year in revenue, the cost of promotion and marketing behind each year is basically equal to the income.
If the huge gold mine of Sara cannot be settled soon, Kim even has the idea of quitting the entertainment industry.
