Chapter 1767: Chapter 1614: Otherworldly Entertainment Tycoon 44
Zang Lin is not good at business negotiations; he placed the contract in front of Jian Shuangshuang and straightforwardly said, "Shuangshuang, this is a contract.
As the next Family Head of the Zang Family, I represent our family in wanting to cooperate with you in the film business. I wonder if you are willing to collaborate with us?"
It was exceedingly direct, without any ambiguity, leaving Jian Shuangshuang stunned by Zang Lin’s straightforwardness. She had been pondering how to negotiate profit distribution with the Zang Family, to engage in a battle of wits, but Zang Lin threw a straight ball.
Moreover, upon reviewing the conditions in the cooperation contract, Jian Shuangshuang found them better than she had deliberated herself. Firstly, she could receive sixty percent of the net profit.
The Zang Family would handle other venues, film promotion, and so forth, while the production, such as venue, actors, costumes, props, and all filming expenses, would be her responsibility.
In short, Jian Shuangshuang would create the film work, while the Zang Family would manage the external sales of the film.
This profit-sharing model was truly advantageous for Jian Shuangshuang. After all, regardless of how good the film is, it must sell to turn into money; otherwise, it is worthless.
The crucial point is neither side needs to worry about one party breaking the contract or committing fraud, and this is relied upon by the contract’s power.
The so-called contract is not merely a piece of paper; it also carries the restrictive power of the Heavenly Dao.
Once the contract is signed, it gains the recognition of heaven and earth. If breached, one would repay a hundredfold of the benefits gained by violation, which is lenient; no one can break a contract recognized by heaven and earth.
With such favorable terms, Jian Shuangshuang had no reason to refuse. She immediately signed with Zang Lin on the contract, establishing the agreement.
After signing the contract, it floated up into the air, emitting two beams of golden light that entered the bodies of Jian Shuangshuang and Zang Lin. The entire contract then transformed into a gigantic Array.
This Array hovered in the air, spun a few circles upward, and quickly vanished over the horizon, equivalent to being registered within the Heavenly Dao’s laws, making contract holders unable to breach.
Not only Zang Lin and Jian Shuangshuang, but the Zang Family represented by Zang Lin was also within the contract, and not one person could violate the contractual rules.
Of course, if Jian Shuangshuang had descendants, they would also be counted in the contract, forever unable to breach, providing a guarantee stronger than the law.
After signing the contract, Zang Lin immediately relayed the message to his family to expedite the establishment of cinemas and promote the film in various cities of Lin Country, as delaying by a day would mean a day’s loss of earning.
The cinemas needed no concern from Jian Shuangshuang, easing her significantly. Now she was preparing to construct various scenes for the next film.
She would also focus on enhancing the acting skills of Wu Ziyi and Wu Qiaoxuan siblings, hoping to produce a better movie.
Just as Jian Shuangshuang thought of this, Feng Ying pushed the door open and told her that guests had arrived at home and were waiting in the living room, asking her to hurry and entertain them.
On the way to the living room, Jian Shuangshuang was puzzled; those she knew mostly lived nearby to practice acting, seeing each other eight times a day, hardly qualifying as guests.
Preoccupied with thoughts, Jian Shuangshuang didn’t realize that the Xuan Fire was climbing the walls stealthily behind her, with its snake eyes filled with playful curiosity.
Upon entering the living room, Jian Shuangshuang saw Hao Ren pacing back and forth inside, his face filled with anxious restlessness, emanating a sense of impatience.
Upon seeing Jian Shuangshuang, before she could speak, Hao Ren hurried towards her and said, "Quick, call out the Xuan Fire!
I might have found Chusheng’s soul, but now he doesn’t know where he’s hiding. Let Xuan Fire help me locate him."
Hao Ren spoke quickly and urgently, leaving Jian Shuangshuang no time to respond as the Xuan Fire, stealthily approached by clambering on the wall, overheard Hao Ren’s words and fell swiftly from the wall.
With a loud noise, the Xuan Fire, disregarding the pain, swiftly swam inside, its upper body standing upright, facing Hao Ren eye to eye.
The Xuan Fire’s snake pupils were full of excitement, clearly reacting greatly to this news, looking at Hao Ren with expressions of hope, fear, and disappointment, its demeanor exceedingly complex.
Hao Ren could see the expectancy and fear in Xuan Fire’s eyes, he immediately assured Xuan Fire, "Xuan Fire, don’t worry, I wasn’t mistaken this time, indeed it’s Chusheng’s soul, we need to bring him back."
Upon hearing Hao Ren’s certain response, Xuan Fire couldn’t help but turn back with anticipation towards Jian Shuangshuang, hoping she would accompany it to find its master.
Jian Shuangshuang, busy with more matters, and having little acquaintance with Fan Chusheng, initially had no intention of meddling. Yet with Xuan Fire looking at her like this, she couldn’t resist the softness in her heart.
Sighing secretly, Jian Shuangshuang reluctantly said to Hao Ren, "Should I accompany Xuan Fire to search for its master’s soul? I have some experience with the Tracking Array, maybe I could lend a hand."
The Tracking Array, as the name suggests, is a formation specifically for searching people. Above and below ground, as long as there’s a trace of scent, whether it’s an ant or something big like a soul can be found.
However, the drawing of a Tracking Array is complicated, primarily requiring high control over Mystic Energy. Carelessly done, the array can easily be destroyed, with few able to draw a complete Tracking Array.
Despite her youth, Jian Shuangshuang is a Great Xuan Master just like me; Hao Ren was naturally keen to have Jian Shuangshuang’s support, especially when she claimed she was adept at the Tracking Array.
Though Hao Ren didn’t have high expectations for the Tracking Array, once Jian Shuangshuang offered help, he immediately agreed without second thoughts.
"Then I’ll trouble Miss Jian once more. Previously, Miss Jian saved Xuan Fire, and this time I ask for help in finding Chusheng; I don’t know how to thank you."
Having burdened herself with the task, Jian Shuangshuang generously expressed that this was nothing, helping to find someone was a good deed.
Yet inwardly counting with her fingers the days this journey might take, lamenting over how much work it would disrupt, how much money she’d lose, it hurt!
No matter how much it hurt financially, having agreed she couldn’t go back on her word. Jian Shuangshuang casually tidied up, briefed the family about her whereabouts, and set out with Xuan Fire and Hao Ren.
This time, for speed, Hao Ren specifically acquired two Cloud Stepping Horses, spirit beasts known for travel. When they run, mist resembling clouds forms beneath them, hence the name Cloud Stepping.
The speed of Cloud Stepping Horses is reputedly fast, capable of traveling three thousand miles a day once matured, though being naturally wild and hard to tame, mature Cloud Stepping Horses cannot be tamed, only from infancy can they be raised for human use.
