Lisa didn't pay any further attention to Jungkook and immediately forwarded the contract that Mark Tuan had sent her to her lawyer. Her lawyer was someone she had known since she started her restaurant business, and he had also helped her with many contracts when she was preparing to open the hotel. They had known each other for many years, so Lisa trusted him quite a bit. However, since his expertise was in a different field, she wasn't sure how familiar he was with entertainment industry contracts.Lawyer Han responded quickly with three question marks.
Lawyer Han: ???
Lawyer Han: Are you going to enter the entertainment industry???
Lisa: Well, I have been considering opportunities in that area recently. 🤭
Lawyer Han: ...
Boss Manoban is truly extraordinary.
Lawyer Han: I'll take a look at it for you. However, I'm more experienced with contracts in business fields. If you're really expanding into this area, I can recommend a friend who is more specialized in this field.
Lisa: Okay, Lawyer Han is reliable indeed. [Pat on the back]
Lawyer Han: ...
Reviewing a contract would take some time, as the devil is often in the details. He hadn't replied to Lisa yet, but Mark Tuan seemed a bit impatient.
Mark Tuan: Haven't you reviewed the contract yet? If everything is fine, let's sign it quickly and start shooting immediately.
Lisa: Wait a bit! Lawyer Han hasn't replied yet!
Mark Tuan: ?
Mark Tuan: You don't have a manager, but you have a lawyer?
Lisa: That's right, I do have a strong sense of the law.
Mark Tuan: ...You think the salary from this role is enough to pay for a lawyer?
Although the entertainment industry is now offering sky-high paychecks, it's mainly for A-list actors, and even their fees often come with some hidden terms. Their production doesn't offer astronomical salaries, especially so for a small supporting role like Lisa's, with less than five episodes, the pay is not much.
Lisa: It's enough, your production is not paying that low either, have some confidence!
Mark Tuan: ...
Mark Tuan: Once you've reviewed it, sign the contract quickly, then we'll proceed with makeup and take the official photos. By the way, you'd better sign with a talent agent. Otherwise, you'll have to handle everything by yourself, and you might be overwhelmed.
Lisa: (⊙-⊙) What else could happen later? After I finish shooting for Yunjin, I'll just continue working in the Film and Television City doing other jobs.
Mark Tuan: ...Have some confidence! What if you become really popular?
Lisa: (⊙-⊙) But won't the drama need to air until the end of next year?
Mark Tuan: ...You make a valid point.
Mark Tuan: But what if other opportunities come up next year?
Lisa: If opportunities come, I'll consider them at that time. Otherwise, I'll end up supporting the agent instead.
Mark Tuan: ...
Mark Tuan: Then, do you want to sign with my studio?
Lisa was taken aback. Sign with Mark Tuan's studio? She hadn't thought about that, but although Mark Tuan was currently a lesser-known director, he was still the son of K Tuan and would likely have more connections and resources than an average person.
