Zayn said, "Bello was adopted by the kennel a few years ago and does not belong to the military. I have looked into it. The owner of the kennel signed an agreement with the production team, clearly stating that Bello could be sacrificed for the needs of the plot. Additionally, in the agreement I signed with the production team, I have no authority to interfere with their filming. If I insist on saving Bello, it would be considered a breach of contract."
Athena said bluntly, "How much do you need to compensate? I can help you with that."
Zayn said, "I received a salary of 200 thousand dollars for this film. According to the agreement, the compensation for breaching the contract isn't very high. However, if filming continues, even if I save Bello, there will be other military dogs that will be used in place of Bello, so I've decided to withdraw from the production. Once I withdraw from the production, the film will either be canceled or need to be reshot, and I will have to compensate for all the losses, which is about... 30 million."
Six million dollars was an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Moreover, he only received a salary of 200 thousand dollars, yet he would have to pay a compensation of six million dollars. It was also an exorbitant amount.
However, Athena didn't even bat an eye. "Six million dollars is nothing to me. I can help you pay."
After a few seconds of silence, Zayn didn't seem very surprised and said with a faint smile, "Alright, I'll consider this money as a loan from you. I'll pay you back whenever I have enough money."
Athena said, "I'm not short of money. You can pay me back whenever you want."
Then she asked, "Zayn, where are you now? I'll go find you."
Zayn said, "I'm at CineCraft Studios, negotiating the contract termination with the production team and discussing the adoption of Bello."
In the country, Valemont City was recognized as the economic and financial center, while Kitmore City was known as the cultural and tourism hub as well as the center for the entertainment industry.
Located in the northeast outskirts of Kitmore City, CineCraft Studios was considered the largest film shooting base in the country, producing the vast majority of historical dramas, fantasy dramas, costume dramas, palace dramas, war films, and more.
It was normal for Zayn to film there.
When Athena arrived there, she saw Ryan and Jaden were also present.
Actually, the Donovan family was also prepared to help Zayn with the compensation. However, although the Donovan family was not short on money, it was indeed a bit difficult for them to take out about 10 million dollars all at once.
Ryan was even planning to lend money to Zayn, so when Athena arrived, money was no longer a problem.
The production team didn't expect Zayn to be so resolute, directly breaching the contract for the sake of a dog. It left them feeling quite frustrated.
"Zayn, even if you pay the compensation, your reputation will be ruined," said the director, unaware of how powerful Zayn's connections were. Given that Zayn was not very famous and was already in his fifties, the director felt this was his last film and spoke to him openly without much hesitation.
He added, "As the only lead actor, how could you ruin an entire film just for a dying sick dog? Who would dare to hire you for a film in the future? So many people's efforts are now in vain, and the film isn't even finished. How can you face the staff who have worked with you for three months?"
Zayn gently patted Bello's head and said calmly, "Bello may be insignificant to you, but to me, he is a comrade and a hero. A hero should not be treated this way by anyone."
Athena said bluntly, "How much do you need to compensate? I can help you with that."
