But......

It seems that the initial budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is 6 million, but it should be noted that this does not include the salaries of Menjie and Jia Jingwen, as well as the salaries of director Shang Jing and screenwriter God of Wealth!

The salaries of Menjie and Jia Jingwen are 40,000 soft girl coins per episode and 25,000 soft girl coins per episode respectively, and both of them are one of the five protagonists, among them, the number of episodes starred by the two is even more than Yao Chen who plays 'Guo Furong', a full eighty episodes, and there is no absence of even one episode at all!

In other words, just the salaries of Menjie and Jia Jingwen will cost a full five million funds!

If the two characters of Tong Xiangyu and Thief Bai Yutang in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" were still the original actors, they might not need to spend so much money at all, or even the entire budget, only eight million is enough, but ......

In order to make the cast in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" stronger and more attractive to the actors, Menjie finally decided to strengthen the lineup of actors, starring Menjie himself and Jia Jingwen!

It is precisely because of this that the budget has increased by more than 4 million, and the final initial investment has reached a terrifying figure of 12 million!

However, in order to support Menjie's work, Jia Jingwen basically made a decision without much thought, wanting to give Menjie a very favorable price, with a salary of 10,000 yuan per episode.

It's not that Jia Jingwen is unwilling to appear in Menjie's TV series for free, in fact, if Menjie agrees, Jia Jingwen will not have any problems, and she will definitely not take a penny, but she knows Menjie's character very well, and she clearly knows that what Menjie hates most is to rely on women's strength to do things. If Jia Jingwen doesn't take a penny, it will make Menjie very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after discussing with Menjie many times, Jia Jingwen proposed to charge the salary according to the figure of 10,000 yuan per episode, which is more than twice as cheap as her current net worth!

And Menjie himself ......

Whether it is from the perspective of 'investors starring, taking nothing and reducing investment', or from the perspective of 'after getting paid, all of them will be invested in the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" again', although Menjie's own salary has reached a terrifying 40,000 soft girl coins per episode, but in the end, it is actually. It doesn't cost a penny at all!

These two methods, although they seem very similar, have a fatal problem!

If Menjie chooses not to appear in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" for free with a penny of salary, then the final money earned only needs to pay a one-time tax rate. But if you wait until you get paid, you can devote yourself to the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden". It is necessary to pay a tax to the state on the actor's remuneration. and the money earned after the release of a final TV series, and a tax is paid.

Obviously, the method of paying taxes twice is much less beneficial in terms of the final benefit than paying taxes only once, so after hesitation. Menjie decided to choose the first method, not a penny of salary, and starred in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" for free!

That's why. The final investment in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" was finalized at such a figure of 8 million, for various reasons, even if the cast has been slightly improved, the budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" has not increased in the slightest!

Up to now, in Menjie's hands, after removing the first batch of investment of 8 million, there is still a full 7 million funds left!

"Seven million funds remaining......

Looking at the form handed over to him by Zhao Dong in his hand, Menjie's right hand couldn't help but put it on the table, and tapped it slightly, countless thoughts flashed in his heart, constantly thinking about what he could do with the remaining 7 million funds.

"Menjie, the remaining 7 million funds, at least 2 million must be left, if the investment in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is not enough, you can make additional investment!"

Seeing that Menjie thought about what the remaining 7 million funds should do, Zhao Dong was afraid that Menjie would use up all the 7 million, so he hurriedly got bigger.

As Menjie's agent, he shouldn't have known how much money Menjie had in Ludao, and Menjie didn't need to tell Zhao Dong everything at all, but when Menjie was planning to invest in the filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" before, in order to save trouble, he directly told Zhao Dong everything, including the question of how much money he had for his injury.

"Brother Zhao, you don't have to keep it!"

Shaking his head slightly, Menjie did not accept Zhao Dong's proposal, but said to Zhao Dong slightly, "In addition to the 15 million funds, I still have 3 million funds left, and I regard these 3 million funds as reserved funds for the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", and the 7 million funds can be used in other places!" ”

"That's fine!"

Nodding slightly, now that he understood Menjie's thoughts, Zhao Dong also felt that there was nothing inappropriate about Menjie's approach.

Anyway, they are already in debt of 15 million, even if they keep the more than 3 million they have accumulated in hand, and when the TV series loses money, it will be used to repay the debt, and there will still be 12 million funds left!

If it is said that there is no debt and a debt of 3 million, there is indeed a big difference, but the debt of 15 million and the debt of 12 million......

Anyway, they are all debts, and they are tens of millions of debts, whether in the eyes of Zhao Dong or Menjie, there is no difference at all.

If you have more debts, you are not afraid of ugliness, and if you have more lice, you are not afraid of bites, that's probably the idea, right?!

"But...... Menjie, what are you going to use your 7 million funds for?! ”

After nodding slightly, Zhao Dong hesitated for a moment and asked Menjie.

Originally, no one had the right to inquire about the use of a person's private funds, but in Zhao Dong's thoughts, since he had borrowed money and was preparing to make a TV series, it was impossible for Menjie to let the 7 million funds rot in his hands, so he couldn't help asking.

"I'm ready to ......"

A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and Menjie whispered to Zhao Dong, "Take these 7 million flowers out of the river and give them to the God of Wealth and Shangjing as their salary!" ”

"What? Are you going to pay the salary of the God of Wealth and Shang Jing, and take all the risks of the entire TV series on yourself?! ”

Listening to Menjie's words, Zhao Dong's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise.

According to the normal market price, the director Shang Jing and the screenwriter in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" can each get a lot of wealth, which is their salary.

But both of them are also very clear that as a rookie actor who has just debuted for more than a year, his family background is not very good, and it is impossible to help Menjie, and the investment in this TV series "Wulin Gaiden" cannot be too big.

Even if Menjie borrowed money later, the funds were relatively abundant, and the God of Wealth and Shangjing were quite reasonable to Menjie and gave Menjie a promise.

If Menjie's funds are not very abundant, then the salaries of Shang Jing and Zhan Caishen can be replaced by shares in the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", that is to say, Shang Jing and Zhan Caishen are willing to bear part of the risk of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" on their bodies!

If Menjie and Jia Jingwen are all paid in full, then the total budget of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" will reach a full 12 million, and the salary that director Shang Jing and screenwriter Da Caishen need to pay to shoot such a TV series is 4 million soft girl coins and 3 million soft girl coins respectively.

After all, in the next five months, no matter what kind of big or small things in the crew, director Shang Jing will be responsible, and his own responsibility is very heavy, and even what the final shooting of the film looks like has a lot to do with Shang Jing.

As a well-deserved number one person in the crew, it is not strange that Shang Jing can get a salary of 4 million that is higher than that of Menjie.

And the God of Wealth, Menjie will invest 3 million soft sister coins to buy the script of his "Wulin Gaiden", plus in the next five months, the God of Wealth also needs to follow the crew, all the time for the crew's on-site situation, make some subtle changes to the script, the workload is also very huge, plus intellectual property rights, the same salary of 3 million as Menjie's salary, is also normal!

If all of them are added together, it is a full 19 million funds, plus the minimum additional investment of 2 million, and all the trivial expenses such as advertising costs, public relations costs, and editing costs after the successful filming of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", the investment of the entire film is about 25 million soft sister coins!

And Shang Jing and Zhan Caishen did not take advantage of Menjie, and asked Menjie for 16% and 12% of the shares of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" respectively, which was the same value as the salary he should get, and also took part of the risk for Menjie, which really moved Menjie very much.

But......

Zhan God of Wealth and Shang Jing only felt that they were helping Menjie share the risks of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", but they didn't consider that their move also diluted Menjie's benefits!

If Menjie does not have enough funds on hand, he may eventually choose to owe a favor to the God of Wealth and Shang Jing, and give them a total of 28% of the shares.

But now, Menjie has 7 million free funds in his hands, which can be regarded as the salary of the two, although in this way, Menjie will bear 100% of the risk, but after the TV series "Wulin Gaiden" is officially broadcast, he can also enjoy 100% of the profits, and by the way, there is no need to owe the God of Wealth and Shangjing a great favor!
