016 The first pot of gold

In the entertainment industry, film actors are far ahead in terms of average income, followed by film directors, film producers, and film screenwriters, followed by TV actors, TV directors, and TV producers, and then related practitioners in the music industry, including singers, producers, etc., and then TV screenwriters, photographers, lighting artists, etc. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Overall, film is the pinnacle of the pyramid, followed by television, music, models, and hosts. This is not only reflected in the income, but also in the position of the employees in the industry. That's why singers, models, and TV actors aspire to make it to the film industry – the ultimate battleground for Vanity Fair.

In the TV industry, big-name actors can earn as much as 150,000 to 300,000 per episode, experienced mid-career actors are between 70,000 and 100,000, and average rookie actors have a starting salary of 10,000 to 20,000. However, what is more special in the TV industry is that actors' salaries will gradually rise with the increase in seasons, and it is not uncommon for the leading actors of long-lived and popular dramas to get paid millions of episodes.

In a situation like Lan Li, the remuneration of 20,000 yuan per episode can be regarded as the top salary, as far as Roy knows, in the entire "Pacific War" crew, Lan Li's salary is the third highest, second only to the other two leading actors James Badge-Dale (James Badge-Dale) and Jon Seda (Jon-Seda) - both are veteran actors who have been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, although they are always considered third-tier, but the qualifications are already there.

When Roy first learned the results, he was surprised. At this time, seeing Lan Li's calmness and calmness, he made a fuss, which made Roy uncomfortable.

Think about it carefully, among the three core protagonists, the "Pacific War" crew chose two actors with rich qualifications, and only Lan Li is a pink newcomer. This ability alone is enough to make people look sideways. In this way, Lan Li is definitely not as simple as it seems.

As the official manager of the Screen Actors Guild, he has seen countless new actors, sometimes meeting with 30 new actors a day, taking care of their work, and he does not have enough time to get to know each one, so he can only do his best to do his job. But now, he had a slight interest in the young man in front of him.

However, interest is just interest, and in the huge machine of the film industry, there is no shortage of genius, and there are exceptions. But there are very few who can break out of the world. In the blink of an eye, Roy had returned to normalcy and was back to business.

"In addition to pay, you'll also need to sign a non-disclosure agreement and refuse to commit any form of content related to the show to anyone, before the official broadcast. Roy's speech is not fast, but the amount of information is very large, "There are also some basic terms, you can read them in detail when you go back, after the TV series starts, if the TV station has a promotional event, you need to cooperate unconditionally, at least during the episode." ā€

As a newcomer, Lan Li hardly has any bargaining capital, and all the terms can be found as a reference. At this point, HBO showed the atmosphere of their first wireless station, and all the information in the standard contract was clear at a glance.

"You can call me with any questions before you officially sign up, I work nine to six hours and don't call my number the rest of the time unless you're going to die. Roy went through everything with great vigour, and as was customary, his work came to an end for the time being.

Packing his things, he still needs to make a trip to Warner Bros. today, where another series is about to be auditioned, and he is the officially dispatched agent - a union agent must be on the public audition site for any series and movie, and the same was true for yesterday's "war in the Pacific."

But looking at Lan Li, who was flipping through the contract in front of him, Roy's movements couldn't help but pause for a moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to attach some golden and jade words, "A big company like HBO has a fixed process, after you sign the contract, the first advance payment will be paid to your account, and then after the filming of the episode is over, it will be the second one, and the balance will be fully credited after the episode is played." My advice to you is to make the most of your first advance and not splurge it. ā€

Lan Li's gaze lifted from the contract and looked at Roy with a hint of inquiry, "What do you mean?"

Roy shrugged his shoulders and said as a matter of course, "Young actors are always like this, the first pot of gold, ecstatic, squandering, enjoying youth." Then he raised his hands and made a gesture in double quotation marks, "yolo", which is an abbreviation for "you-only-live-once", which was originally intended to encourage people not to be afraid of risk-taking, because life is only once, to enjoy life to the fullest, but after being over-interpreted, it took on an ironic meaning, and gradually some people began to use such slogans to cover up their irresponsibility and wantonness.

Roy's eye-rolling expression couldn't be more vivid, making Lan Li laugh, "Don't laugh." I'm serious. Roy's tone still hasn't changed much, it's still as crisp and vigorous as before, so people can't hear his "seriousness", "After getting the advance payment, many newcomers either impulsively buy a luxury car and show it off, or they all dedicate it to drugs/traffickers and enjoy themselves." The most common phenomenon is to use it for parties, inviting a large group of friends to splurge on it. But I'm telling you, it's the stupidest thing to do. ā€

That's Roy's friendly reminder, "If you want to continue on the path of an actor, or if you want to get a place in Hollywood, you need to be smart." ā€

This time, Lan Li felt Roy's friendliness and seriousness. Generally speaking, such an opinion is only advised by professional agents to their own artists, and official public agents like Roy only need to make sure that those new actors do not get taken advantage of in the law, and that is enough.

The reason why Lan Li knows is because of Chris's existence.

In the stage of a rookie actor, self-investment is very important, even if you don't have to work out your muscles as consistently as Chris, but maintaining your body line is also a basic job, the image project created by the costume is a bottomless pit that must be persisted in for many years, especially in the era of social networking where street photography is popular, this is even more important, when the level reaches a certain level, even the details such as the car that goes out, the shoes that jog will become part of the personal image investment, and so on.

Hollywood, the glamorous Vanity Fair, has a lot of income, but it is a flowing expenditure, and a set of evening dresses of tens of thousands of dollars is just the tip of the iceberg.

Chris is now under the supervision of his agent, strictly managing his income. Unexpectedly, Roy actually gave personal advice.

Lan Li looked at Roy and said sincerely, "Thank you." ā€

Roy could feel the sincerity in Lan Li's words, and it seemed that he really listened to his words, which was really rare among rookie actors. Recall that Lan Li is about to star in the "Pacific War" jointly created by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, and he also received the highest salary for a new actor, perhaps, this young man really has the hope of becoming another top superstar.

But this intuitive touch was just a flash, and then Roy smiled self-deprecatingly, there are not a thousand but eight hundred new actors emerging in Hollywood every day, where did so many top superstars come from, he really thinks too much today.

Nodding, Roy responded, "Other than that, do you have any questions?"

"Yes. Lan Li nodded, "The schedule of the crew's filming work." "That's all that matters, isn't it?

"Yes. Roy then remembered, "On Monday, you come over to get the script, on Friday, all the cast and crew will have a pre-meeting, and then you will explain the details in detail at that meeting." I'll tell you when you come over on Monday when you come over on Friday. ā€

"Okay. Lan Li simply nodded, and then stood up, "I'm all done here, so I won't disturb your work." ā€

Roy was not polite, quickly packed his briefcase, and left the office with Lan Li. Roy left the union building directly, while Lan Li made his way to the lobby to look for Chris.

Easily, Lan Li saw Chris, who was sitting behind a desk, surrounded by four people, three women and one man, Chris was talking, while the others were smiling, and the atmosphere was very lively.

Just as Lan Li was thinking about whether he shouldn't interrupt their joyful atmosphere, Chris saw Lan Li first and raised his right hand high, "Hey, buddy." Lan Li also waved his hand and walked over, "How's things going?" asked Chris impatiently.

Lan Li politely nodded to the four people next to him, "It's over, everything is going well." "Succinctly, without any fuss, "I'm going to go to the library now, what about you?"

Chris originally wanted to ask about the specific situation, such as what role Lan Li played, what the crew was, and what Lan Li's salary was, but Lan Li didn't give him a chance. "Library?" Chris's interest suddenly fell, and he stretched a big stretch, "I'm going to the gym in a moment, so forget it." Meet at home in the evening?"

Lan Li made an "ok" gesture and nodded to the four of them again and said hello, "Good day." Then he turned and walked away, and soon there was the laughter of a group of people behind him, and the sound gradually became fainter and weaker with the footsteps, and finally disappeared completely.

The salary income from starring in "Pacific War" is a total of 140,000 US dollars, which can only be regarded as a drop of water in Hollywood, but this is Lan Li's first income as an actor, which also means that from today onwards, Lan Li's actor identity has finally officially sailed!
