After returning to Tianjing, Wang Luo's life was completely busy, and he was filming every morning when he woke up. For the first play, Wang Luo is still more serious.

After interviewing several protagonists, three of the remaining four protagonists have been determined, but the candidate for the first male protagonist Cai Shuigen has not yet been determined.

Cai Shuigen is not an ordinary character, the whole drama is completely centered on Cai Shuigen, as the central axis of the whole play, for this character, Wang Luo does not dare to let those group actors play it.

Wang Luo has taken a fancy to a few good people, has filming experience, and has a certain reputation in China, which also helps this drama to a certain extent. can not only teach the fulfillment of filming to these 'protagonists' who can only perform in groups, but also bring some popularity to this drama.

It's just that the result was not as smooth as imagined, the first actor named Ou Yuan who was favored by Wang Luo, after sending out the invitation letter, was directly rejected by the other party, on the grounds that there was no schedule, if the crew could set the filming time for next year, maybe he would consider it.

Obviously, the other party did not want to participate, although this was a TV sitcom with Wang Luo participating. Wang Luo's fame in the music industry did not bring him any help in the film and television industry.

The second favored name is Li Hongyang, a second-rate actor in China, without too much explanation, he replied directly to Wang Luo in four words, and there was no schedule.

The third one I like is Ren Qiucheng, a second-rate domestic actor and a quasi-first-line actor. After reading the other party's reply, Wang Luo directly threw the fax aside, and didn't even bother to reply to the other party's action.

The salary of 350,000 yuan per episode is not too high for a first-line actor, but for a person of Ren Qiucheng's level, it is a bit outrageously high.

According to the information queried by Wang Luo, the highest salary in China is elevation, and the salary of TV dramas is 60-800,000 yuan per episode. Among all the first-line actors, the lowest salary is about 300,000.

And the second-tier stars are far behind, the highest is only 300,000, and the lowest is 123,000. The reason why Ren Qiucheng was chosen, in addition to the accident that he felt that his image was quite suitable, the other was his salary, according to the information, Ren Qiucheng's salary was about 150,000 per episode.

Although it is still very high, it has far exceeded the salary of other leading actors, but Ren Qiucheng is somewhat famous, and he also has a lot of fans in China.

It's just that what Wang Luo didn't expect was that the other party actually opened his mouth fourteen times and asked for the price of a first-line star. However, there is another point that makes Wang Luo very puzzled, according to the points ranking, Ren Qiucheng's several shares are indeed about to enter the first-line ranks, but his salary is rising very slowly, and it is even inferior to some second-tier stars behind him.

Anyway, the matter of inviting celebrities is in vain for the time being. Next, Wang Luo went to Jincheng to open a concert, and the two concerts allowed Wang Luo to directly exceed 100 million yuan in just half a month.

The company is its own, and there are no other shareholders, so Wang Luo didn't care whether the company's money or his own money, and directly transferred all the funds to the company's account.

Of course, this has the added benefit of avoiding triple taxation. Taxes are absolutely fatal to celebrities, and they can even take 40% of your income directly.

But it's not the same when you transfer money to a company, so it's double taxation, corporate tax, and the company pays taxes normally when it makes a profit. For personal tax, if the company has a normal salary, it will be taxed according to the tax bracket, if there is no normal salary, it will be taxed at 20% if it does not pay dividends, and if it does not pay dividends, it will not be taxed. These two tax points add up to only thirty-two, which is much less than forty percent for individuals.

If Wang Luo follows the first method, then he needs to pay corporate tax, income tax when personal dividends are paid (if you don't want to pay, the money will never be taken out. and personal income tax.

Although the two concerts paid a total of less than 30 million taxes in Bingcheng and Jincheng, plus Wang Luo's previous investment, the company's assets are currently over 100 million.

However, this money is still not much, and in the entertainment industry, for some big-name directors, it may not be enough to make a movie.

In the office, Wang Luo sat behind his desk with a sad face, helpless. Now everything is ready, just send the actors, everyone is waiting for an actor. What's worse is that this actor hasn't been found yet.

Yang Yihu sat on the sofa, looked at Wang Luo, who was helpless, and never spoke. Regarding the selection of actors, although he has some right to suggest, Yang Yihu does not plan to suggest anything to Wang Luo.

Wang Biwen sat next to Yang Yihu, smoking vigorously, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his head.

"Mr. Wang, the budget has been made." Chai Qing, the chief financial officer, held a stack of reports in his hand, knocked on the door, and walked into Wang Luo's office and reported.

"How much?" Wang Luo looked up and asked.

"The actor's salary is currently 1.54 million, the director's salary is 200,000, the salary of the crew members is 410,000 yuan per month, and the personnel cost is between 2.15 million and 2.97 million.

The venue cost is 100,000 yuan per month, the venue construction cost is 529,000 yuan, and the security cost is 30,000 yuan per month. The total is between 659,000 and 919,000.

Equipment costs 300,000 yuan per month, and other vehicles, meals, etc. cost about 150,000 yuan per month. There is also public relations in the later stage, etc., and the total budget is about 500 to 7 million. Chai Qing read the report.

Between five million and seven million, this price is not high, at least in the TV drama industry, it is a completely low-cost production. Of course, this time it is mainly because the leading actors are all group performances selected by Wang Luo, although Wang Luo has offered a salary that is already sky-high for them, but for those online stars, this money is not enough to stuff their teeth.

is like Ren Qiucheng's 350,000 yuan per episode, if Wang Luo agrees, his salary alone will reach 9.8 million, which is much more than the entire shooting budget.

"Okay, I see." Wang Luo nodded, without any objection to this budget. Now the biggest headache is the actor of Shuigen, if it really doesn't work, you can only bargain with a certain star by gritting your teeth.

"Mr. Wang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" Just when Wang Luo was struggling with a headache, Yang Yihu suddenly spoke.

Now that everything is ready, the entire crew is already on standby, but here it has to postpone the start time because of a leading actor's problem. What's even worse is that Yang Yihu has already gone to find someone to see it before, and the day after tomorrow is a good day and an auspicious day, which is very suitable for them to start up. If the actor can't be found anymore, then the auspicious day for the start of the film will have to wait until next month.
