Chapter 269: Salary Doubled
The filming of "The Beauty of the Mountains" went quite smoothly, and they were filming indoor scenes for a week, and Liu Dong, Chen Huilin, and Guo Xiaodong basically filmed every day.
Li Ming, who is also the leading actor, has been idle for a week, and he can't say anything, after all, according to the order of the scenes, the best plan is to finish filming the scenes of Jiantang and Dayan Palace first.
And almost all of Li Ming's scenes are concentrated in that thatched house, and he can only wait for the filming to finish.
A week later, on November 30, Liu Dong took a morning off and took Liu Shishi to CCTV to sign a contract, along with Zhang Linghua, who arrived in the capital a few days ago.
"Mr. Li spent nearly one million to equip Liu Dong with such a luxurious nanny car, which is really willing!"
In the nanny car, Zhang Linghua looked at the interior of the car and was amazed.
A nanny car worth 2 million, even a sugar man doesn't have one.
"It's just a second-hand car, it's not worth much!" Li Manyu waved his hand.
"But Mr. Li miscalculated this time, but there is a lot of criticism on the Internet!"
"It's all inevitable, but now it's the Lunar New Year, and the audience's attention is on the movie, and it won't be discussed for too long!" Li Manyu said with a smile.
After the launch press conference that day, Liu Dong's goal as an international superstar, as well as a nanny car worth 200, were edited by reporters and posted on the Internet.
It didn't take long for some boring melon-eating people to follow up, saying that Liu Dong was blind and arrogant, and he got carried away and squandered it indiscriminately.
And then there were a few so-called old-timers in the entertainment industry who criticized him for being extravagant and wasteful, and talking about pomp and circumstance, which was really full.
Spend your own money and mind your!
The car soon arrived at the CCTV building, and Liu Dong saw Yu Ming again.
"Hello Director Yu!"
"Sit down!" Yu Ming waved his hand, motioning for them to sit down and talk.
"It's only been less than a year, and to be honest, if someone told me a year ago that you would star in a martial arts production, I wouldn't have believed it. Yu Ming smiled self-deprecatingly.
Liu Dong took a year to complete the gorgeous transformation from a small supporting role to the male protagonist, and Yu Ming is still a director who does not live up to his name!
"Thank you for your appreciation, without your help, this role would not be my turn!" Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"This is all your own strength, even if you don't have me, I believe the teacher will still choose you!" Yu Ming waved his hand and said.
The two exchanged polite words before they began to get down to business.
"According to the discussion between the teacher and me, Liu Dong, your salary is 50,000 per episode, and I will sign you for four months!"
As soon as Yu Ming finished quoting the price, Li Manyu said, "Director Yu, is 50,000 episodes too little!"
It's like buying vegetables in the vegetable market, no matter how much the other party sells, the person who goes to buy vegetables has to bargain, even if the price is already very low.
"50,000 episodes is already a lot, and second-tier TV drama stars are also at this price!"
"As far as I know, Huang Xiaoming's salary for taking over "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has reached 120,000 episodes, and Liu Dong needs at least 80,000 episodes to be reasonable!" Li Manyu quoted a price without changing his face, and directly increased by 60% on the basis of the original price.
Ask for a sky-high price, sit on the ground and pay back!
Huang Xiaoming's salary for taking over "The Condor Heroes" is only 100,000 episodes, and 80,000 episodes have already stepped into the threshold of first-line stars, which is unacceptable to Yu Ming.
"80,000 is impossible, Huang Xiaoming's market price is only 100,000, and "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is still at a premium of 20% after the fire of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!"
"But Liu Dong will have three blockbuster films released next year, and all of them will star, which will give a big boost to the ratings of the TV series!" Li Manyu argued.
Yu Ming shook his head and did not agree with Li Manyu's words, "The audiences of TV series and movies are different, and the prospects of those three movies are not clear!"
"To tell you the truth, it's not like we haven't thought about this problem, 50,000 episodes is already the upper limit for the crew. ”
Yu Ming directly reported the bottom line, but Li Manyu didn't think so, she continued, "The salary of a unit drama that Liu Dong took before was more than 30,000 episodes, but there were no these three movies at that time, "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is a big production, 70,000 episodes is not too much!"
"50,005 episodes, this is already the biggest concession, as far as I know, Liu Dong's current salary for a movie is only 2 million, and the salary for 40 episodes of TV series is the same as that of a movie, which is very reasonable!" Yu Ming argued with reason.
"The salary of Liu Dong for playing the second male lead in "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is 2.5 million, according to this standard, 65,000 per episode!" Li Manyu corrected.
......
After some bargaining, the salary was finally determined at 60,000 episodes, and Liu Dong's role had a total of 35 episodes, with a total salary of 2.1 million yuan, which was paid in one lump sum.
It's only been a year since "Xin Shi Shi Niang" took over, and Liu Dong's TV series salary has directly doubled.
After the most critical salary was settled, the other terms were quickly agreed, which is basically the standard treatment of the actor.
More than an hour later, Liu Dong and Li Manyu both signed their big names on the contract.
From beginning to end, Liu Dong said no more than 5 sentences, and Li Manyu was there to talk about it.
"Happy cooperation!" put the contract away, and Yu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Happy working together!"
"Remember our previous agreement!" Yu Ming said to Li Manyu again.
"Director Yu, don't worry, everything in the crew is under your command!" Liu Dong said immediately.
"That's good, in that case, I won't send you, there are still people coming later!"
Out of the office, Liu Dong sent a message to Master Liu, she had signed the contract and was waiting in the car.
Back in the car, Zhang Linghua still held a contract in her hand, and she couldn't hide her joy in her eyes.
"The contract has been signed?" Liu Dong sat down next to Master Liu, took her hand and asked.
"It's been signed, it's going well!" Master Liu nodded and said.
"How much does it cost?"
"38,000 episodes, 25 episodes, a total of 950,000!"
Speaking of money, Liu Shishi is still a little excited, with a salary of nearly one million, which is the highest drama he has ever won.
"What about you, how much is your salary?" asked Master Liu instead.
"60,000 episodes, 35 episodes!"
"60,000, 35... That's 2.1 million, so much!" Liu Shishi counted with his fingers, startled, more than twice as much as her heroine!
"Sister Zhang, is the teacher's salary only 38,000 episodes, it's too little!" Liu Dong frowned and looked at Zhang Linghua.
"More than 30,000 is already a lot, the teacher has only starred in one "Xin Shi Niang", and it's not like you who has taken on three big-budget movies, so I don't have the confidence to talk about the price!" Zhang Linghua said with a wry smile.
Don't talk about 38,000, even if you only give 20,000 episodes, Zhang Linghua will not hesitate to agree.
Money can be made at any time, it's just a big deal to take on more scenes, compared to these hundreds of thousands of dollars, the heroine of a big-production TV series is indeed unattainable, and if you miss this time, you don't know when you will have a chance.
