Chapter 765 - Raising the Actor's Salary (1st Subscription Request)
Since Wang Ze has promised his boss that he must shoot his first TV series after coming to the New Century Film and Television Group, it is absolutely guaranteed in terms of quality, so the extra 20 million, Wang Ze will definitely use it in the place where it is reused.
For example, increase the salary of the actors, so that the actors will work harder to act, and the most sincere acting skills will lead to high-quality TV series.
So Wang Ze called Chen Lao this time, firstly, to inform Chen Lao that the TV series "Miyagi" is about to start, and Chen Lao is ready to come over to join the group at any time, although Chen Lao is already very old, but Chen Lao's role is very important, so he still needs to follow the group.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Ze's current capital budget is 20 million more, which is enough to provide good filming conditions for the actors and employees of the crew, such as accommodation and accommodation, these are real things.
The second is to discuss with Chen Lao the issue of increasing the salary, and the salary that Chen Lao discussed with Wang Ze before was that Chen Lao received a salary of 950,000 yuan in the entire "Miyagi" TV series.
After all, Chen Lao is not the protagonist, just a supporting role, although it is a very important supporting role, but it is not the main supporting role throughout the 45 episodes of the TV series, so Chen Lao's salary is 950,000 yuan.
"Old Chen, I'm calling you today, one is to tell you that we are going to start the camera with the group soon, and the other is to discuss the issue of salary with you. Wang Ze said truthfully to Chen Lao.
When Chen Lao heard this, he immediately panicked, because Chen Lao probably felt that his 950,000 yuan salary might make the producer feel that it was too much, and if he didn't negotiate it because of the salary issue, wouldn't this drama be in vain?
Chen Lao's family pressure is there, so he must not let this opportunity go away, so Chen Lao hurriedly said: "Director Wang, in this way, if you think my salary is too high, or the crew is a little nervous in terms of funds, I can reduce some of my salary, actors like us, take more, take less, in fact, it's nothing." ”
After Wang Ze heard this, he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Old Chen, what are you talking about, I didn't mean that, maybe you misunderstood, I just said that we are talking about the issue of salary, which means to talk to you about the salary increase." ”
Wang Ze didn't expect that because he didn't make it clear, Chen Lao was misunderstood, in fact, Wang Ze admired actors like Chen Lao, who have acting skills, and don't have any big shelves, and are very kind and talkative.
"Ah, increase the salary?" Chen Lao was confused, how could there be a director who took the initiative to say that he wanted to increase the salary? The previous salary of 950,000 yuan had obviously been negotiated, but now the director took the initiative to increase the salary of the actors, which is still very rare in the circle, and the director can't wait for the actors' salaries to be less, so that the cost of production can be reduced.
Chen Lao really couldn't understand that Wang Ze would take the initiative to raise his salary.
"Yes, Old Chen, our crew has an additional investment of 20 million, of course, it is actually the funds given by our boss Ye Xuan, the original budget of the crew is about 80 million, but the boss Ye Xuan gave 100 million, this extra 20 million, the boss Ye Xuan said that he wants to benefit the actors and employees. ”
Wang Ze truthfully told Chen Lao about this situation, and Chen Lao may be a long-term actor who cooperates with him in the future, but if there is any old-level character, basically Chen Lao can be played, after all, Chen Lao's acting skills are like what he acts.
"I see. After Chen Lao heard this, he felt a little excited, this Ye Xuan, the boss of director Wang Ze, is inevitably too good, right?
And Ye Xuan's name, how does it sound so familiar? Soon, Chen Lao remembered that Ye Xuan was not the second son of the Ye Group, the Ye Xuan who won the Best Songwriting Award at the Chinese Pop Music Annual Ceremony?
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan still had such a side, willing to take out some more money to benefit those actors and crew employees, which was a situation that Chen Lao had almost never encountered before.
"Old Chen, in this way, what about our crew, after discussion, it was decided that we will give you a salary of 300,000 yuan, and the total salary is 1.25 million yuan, what do you think?" Wang Ze continued to say to Chen Lao.
Suddenly there was an extra salary of 300,000 yuan, which made Chen Lao really happy and excited, and immediately nodded and replied: "Thank you so much, really thank you to Director Wang, thank you to Mr. Ye." ”
Earning an extra 300,000 yuan in this drama must be a very good thing for actor Chen Lao, and Chen Lao's family is just short of money, with an extra 300,000 yuan, how can Chen Lao not be happy and excited.
"That's okay, Old Chen, let's just say it, a salary of 1.25 million, come over and follow the group on the day of start-up, and I will ask the assistant to contact you." Wang Ze discussed with actor Chen Lao the issue of increasing the salary.
Then Wang Ze continued to talk to some actors of the older generation, please call to discuss the salary increase, like Chen Lao, the salary will increase by 300,000 yuan, and the salary will increase by about 100,000 yuan for some scenes with few roles, and the salary for the starring and main supporting roles will increase by 500,000 to more than 1 million.
Anyway, the male and female protagonists of this play, two very powerful young actors, have their salaries increased by 1.5 million yuan respectively, these two male and female protagonists have very good acting skills, and they do have a certain amount of traffic, so their salaries are slightly higher, but it is certainly not possible to be so exaggerated.
was originally a salary of 2 million, but it rose to 3.5 million.
This must be a good thing for the actors, the actors are happier than one another, and even think that the crew directed by Wang Ze is quite good, and even took the initiative to increase the salary with the actors.
Not only the main actors, supporting roles and secondary actors have increased their salaries, but even the salaries of the extras have increased, as well as the salaries of the employees, and the accommodation treatment can be chosen very well, which is the benefit of an extra 20 million yuan budget.
I have to say that Wang Ze is still very grateful to his boss Ye Xuan, he gave an extra 20 million, so that the cohesion of the entire crew has almost reached an unprecedented height, and even the actors and crew are very close and eager, and the male and female protagonists said that during the filming, except for force majeure factors, they will definitely not leave the crew temporarily.
With such unprecedented cohesion, for director Wang Ze, it is also a very good shooting environment, the actors are working hard, and the employees are also working actively, and the filming of the TV series must be quite smooth.
