"Your pay in the soap opera is a total of 1.2 billion. You multiply it by 15." Melly flat.
"WHAT?" Pekik Gara who does not believe that he is paid so much for a soap opera title when he is a newcomer artist.
"Not a big-screen movie that's obviously much bigger." Melly said again.
Because he rubbed his eyes. The 22-year-old was in complete disbelief at everything he had heard from Melly just now. Gara is unaware that Melly left her alone in the living room to retrieve a copy of the contract that Melly is holding.
JH entertainment, a production house that is no doubt. Evidenced by the many extraordinary works produced by JH entertainment. And to be the main character in the production house was not an easy thing. Must go through a very long selection and casting process.
1.2 M pay for playing in the soap opera with a contract of work for production for 15 months. How could?
Because the face is handsome because Mama Amelia who is an Indo Arab bresteran while Papa Andra Indo Dutch to produce super seeds like herself. Not only herself, the two sisters of Gara are also the same, they already look beautiful and charming despite still High School and Junior High School.
But what is it, only with a handsome face capital can produce 1.2M for one soap opera title? It seems that the number is too excessive considering its work in the entertainment world not so long ago and the name is also not widely known by the owners of large production houses. Because I still feel minimal experience and knowledge.
If Reza Rahadian's classmate gets paid that much, Gara can easily trust him because the film title starring the senior artist is already very much and his acting is not in doubt.
She herself?
"Are you still determined to cancel this contract Ga?" Tanya Melly broke Gara's daydream while offering a copy of the employment contract.
I accept it and want to read it carefully. Because it was at home, Gara only read a glimpse of his work contract file on Papa Andra's phone.
"Total 18 M Ga... 18 M for you to pay on JH entertainment if you cancel the contract unilaterally." Melly said again breaking the concentration of Gara.
Because he did not answer, Brinia's lover was still trying to focus on understanding the word for word listed on the employment contract.
Fantastic numbers, it's appropriate that Melly did not think long to approve the contact even to deceive him to the sign unconsciously. However, Gara knows Melly is in desperate need of money because the widow of one child is the backbone of the family.
"Why did you accept this contract without my consent? Why Mel?" Ask Gara with a tone of speech made as calm as possible.
Mexipun Gara was born in a family of famous entrepreneurs, but Gara's personal money has not touched the number 18 Billion. It is also impossible to ask Papa for help on this matter.
"Why are you still Ga? I did all this for your good! for your career! because with this, your name will be calculated by a famous director director and you will be the newcomer artist with the biggest payment. I'm doing this for your career!" Said Melly who was also in a slightly irritated tone from seeing Gara's unfriendly gaze.?
"You crazy Mel! You're crazy!" Umpat Gara stared intently at Melly with breath up and down.
Really, the brain because it feels like it wants to break at this time, especially because Gara has to play with Sabrina again. Because of the attitude of Brinia yesterday when in Jogja Juna and Denim talking about Sabrina.
Mama Amelia said, Brinia is silent, but Brinia is jealous. Because she doesn't want to make Brinia jealous.
"Why am I crazy? you are crazy and blind for refusing the diamond fields before your eyes Gara." Melly Umbrella.
"Now tell me, when did you ask for my signature for that contract?" Gara asked with a slightly soft tone despite her emotions peaking.
Because there is no quarrel with the manager because it will complicate the work in the future. And obviously, a fight will not solve the problem. Let alone finish, obviously not.
Melly explained when she asked Gara to sign the contract. It turns out that Melly asked Gara to sign it while Gara was talking to someone via phone before the next day Gara left for Jogja.
Because remember, at that time Melly said that there were fans who wanted to ask for his signature. Because of the focus on talking with Henry's father, Gara did not see the paper he signed. Indeed that's the habit of Gara, so Melly who has been very memorized certainly will not waste the opportunity.
And it turns out that his signature is not for fans but a ten thousand contract with a very strong legal force.
"It seems you've planned all that well, huh Mel?" Tanya Gara smiled cynically at Melly because she felt fooled by Melly.
"Yes, I did plan everything because I wanted your career to shine! If I hadn't planned that, you'd have had a lot of consideration. Sorry Ga, I'd rather work fast." Melly replied to Gara's smile with the same smile.
"Gue knows better than you Ga! I have been in the entertainment world for a long time. I know better which opportunities you promise and which ones you don't! And without me, though, you won't be able to get a role in your series yesterday with Sabrina who makes your Instagram followers see 1 million until your name is always discussed by other artist artists including senior artists." The word Melly is full of emphasis on Gara.
Yes, Gara realized that yesterday's series was indeed the result of a struggle Melly convinced the director and Melly who educated Gara hard before joining the casting.
"State, you're a newcomer artist... My advice, do not choose too many roles if you want your name to shine and your talents honed! Now it's up to you to continue that contract or pay the penalty that has been agreed. My job is to work to give the best for you in accordance with your dream of becoming a top artist and recognized as well as your bokap that you can be successful with this job. Part of our employment contract, it is clear that one of my duties is to find you a job. And I've done that really well." Melly.
"Give me time to think Mel." Gara looked frustrated after a few minutes of silence.
"You want to think, especially Ga? holy jeez! You also have no boyfriend. You stay in the best role with Sabrina everything will be fine. Your money can be big, popularity is increasing. Your career in the future is already bright Segara, everything is in front of your eyes!"
It felt like Gara was expressing her status with Brinia at the moment. But after this incident, Gara increasingly doubt and do not believe in Melly. If Melly knows, because instead of fear Melly will do things that are not desirable given how desperate Melly who is an ambitious human.
...***...
After three days of serious thought and with all consideration....
He was forced to accept the contract he signed. Moreover, Melly continued to send messages in the form of plus minus when Gara chose or rejected the contract.
Refuse? clearly the name Gara will be blacklisted from JH entertainment and may spread to other production houses.
Although accepting the contract gave Gara many advantages for his career, Gara's feeling was heavy to accept all that.
But how else, Gara has no other choice but to run the contract with JH entertainment.
Gara will discuss the matter later with Brinia. Maybe on the weekends when he's quality time with his girlfriend. I don't want to talk about this on the phone.
"Mas Gara sure you want to accept that?" Tanya Selena, Gara's sister who sits on the high school bench that used to be a place to confide in Gara.
"There's no other choice Cell."
"But after the soap opera ad aired, I'm sure the gossip of closeness with Sabrina is getting sticking out... How will you feel about Brinia mas?"
"Before the shooting process begins, I want to talk to Brinia first Cell."
"Then what about Gara's wedding plan? I was horrified from Mama said he wanted to cepet cepet same marriage mba Brinia."
"Sel, actually Brinia has not agreed with the plan to marry him immediately. He said he wasn't ready. Mas confused Cell." Gara lirih.
"Is this possible the way God forbids me to marry Brinia, because at first I changed my mind to marry Brinia because of the matter of the bed." Inner Gara.
"Have not seen Brinia yet?"
"Since returning from Jogja yesterday, we have not met him, we just send messages to each other. How else, Mas busy shooting and thinking about this, Brinia busy thesis and guidance because Brinia pursue the final exam this semester. So he can pursue his September graduation."
"Then college because how are you?"
Well, add more thoughts Gara. Lecture....
It's been a week since I didn't set foot on campus~
