Chapter 32: Contract.
Lukas was shocked beyond belief because this movie was not only a hit but also very romantic.
" Yeah, I got cast with Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett," Annie said excitedly, as it was her first ever breakthrough.
" Well, congratulations on your success. What kind of movie is it? Must be on the WW2," Lukas asked, he wanted to be as clueless as possible.
" They didn’t tell me yet, they just announced the cast a little while ago, so I was too excited and ran to tell you. If my mother were here, she would be so proud of me," Annie said, her voice sounding sad even on the phone.
" She is still proud wherever she is, and I am proud too. Now go back and hear what they have to say. After learning everything, call me. I am going to my university right now, so you can also meet me in the afternoon if you are around." Lukas said he doesn’t want to give her info on the film, as it would be too sus.
" Alright, I’ll let you know if we can meet," Annie said, and then they ended the call.
The car was on the highway, and Henry was driving. He was driving very seriously, and after Lukas ended the call, he looked at him for a second and then focused on the road.
" Fasten your seatbelt, Lukas," Henry said suddenly with a deep voice. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
" Eh! I was seated without a seatbelt. Lukas was shocked and then immediately went for the seat belt.
" Although love is not bad at your age, your life is going to change from now on if you decide to sign a contract with the team," Henry said seriously, and his deep voice was making the whole atmosphere more serious than it should be.
" Do you have to talk in that deep voice?" Lukas asked if he was not used to Coach talking in such a deep voice.
" Well, I was just trying to guide you on with a deep voice." Henry immediately returned to his normal voice.
" Yeah, you don’t need to try hard, coach, suggest to me the best way. I saw how you fought those two men, and I completely trust you," Lukas said with a smile. He actually doesn’t even trust himself fully.
" I know. Alright, let’s eat at the Nassau Inn, and then we’ll talk about business." Henry was hungry and can’t think of anything other than food right now.
"Sure, Coach," Lukas replied. The time was only 11:30 in the noon.
It took them twenty more minutes to reach the Nassau Inn. Lukas was not that tired, but Henry was feeling super tired and hungry.
They sat outside, and Henry almost melted in the heat, so they had to relocate inside.
Henry calmed down after drinking three large colas.
" Lukas, Listen to me very carefully. The contract they have offered you is a once-in-a-lifetime deal. They are going to pay you $15 million as a signing bonus. Do you know what that means? You are going to be a millionaire as soon as you sign that contract," Henry said, his tone as quiet as it could be.
" I understood that part," Lukas said.
" Then, wait, let me order food first," Henry said as he saw the waiter approaching.
" Sir, are you alright? The whole restaurant is very concerned about your health, the waiter asked as soon as he came in.
" I am alright. Bring me three Nassau 18 Burgers, two Wagyu 30 Burgers, and two large colas," Henry ordered, then looked in Lukas’s direction as if to ask, What would you have?"
" You never fail to amaze me when it comes to food. Just bring me a bottle of water and a Wagyu burger," Lukas said to the waiter.
" Hehe, how do you think I am so much fat?" Henry asked with a chuckle.
" So listen, Lukas, I have talked them through it, and they only want 85% attendance from you in their game," Henry said, then took a large gulp from his cola mug.
"There are many things in the contract. Let me explain to you in simple terms: they were going to give you that hundred million if you attended a hundred percent of the games, but with your strict studying plans, I have convinced them to give you some time for your studies," Henry said proudly.
"Thank you, Coach," Lukas said. He knows this man has worked hard for him.
"Don’t misunderstand, without your talent everything I said would have turned into horse farts," Henry said seriously.
"By signing the contract, you’ll immediately receive a guaranteed $15 million. To earn the one hundred million balance, you must play in or attend at least 85% of the games. On top of that, you’ll get about $1 million per year for team photo and video appearances, $3 million annually for store openings and VIP events, and roughly $54 million from fan signings, clinic visits, and other promotional activities." Henry explained as much as he could in easy terms.
" So, I will get more money outside of the field?" Lukas asked, he was not sure if this was a good thing or not.
" Yes, they actually get paid by the sponsor, and the sponsor, of course, wants to make their money back," Henry said. Then the waiter came with a food cart. There were huge burgers on it. Henry was helping himself as he went up and took two burger plates in his hand.
Lukas, seeing the burger’s size, was awed because he was not sure if he could even finish one.
"Alright, let’s eat first or talk while we eat," Henry said. He was already gobbling up the steak burger.
" So, you wanted to get some agents?" Lukas asked, and then he took a bite from the burger, it was delicious.
" Yes, I wanted to so that you may get a fair deal, but a good agency will take up on average 6% of the whole contract," Henry said. His student has a very good agency, and he wanted Lukas to have some top agent in this field.
" So, they will manage everything, right? Lawyer and stuff?" Lukas asked.
