Chapter 304: The First Actor
"Uncle and aunt, if you have any questions, just ask them, and everyone can discuss them!"
Seeing that Yang Mi's parents seemed to be a little reluctant, Yang Mi on the side just wanted to ask something eagerly, but was stopped by Menjie and said softly.
The relationship with Yang Mi is very intimate, and Menjie also works hard to make the favorability of the two reach a more intimate 'admiration' level, when facing his parents, there will be more or less a feeling of seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and Menjie can't be too unreasonable, naturally he has to be polite in order to win the favor of the other party.
"Menjie, it's really good to let Yang Mi shoot a TV series with you, and we agree with it, after all, you can take care of Yang Mi more when you are in the crew, and we can rest assured, but if you start filming in May, ......"
Glancing at Yang Mi's father, her mother said, "You also know that Yang Mi will start the college entrance examination in June, and May is the most severe time, and you need to work hard to review, so ......"
"Uncle and aunt!"
After listening to Yang Mi's parents' words, Menjie also understood the worries of the two.
It's just that Yang Mi is worried that she will delay her studies because of this, and she will not be able to get a good score in the college entrance examination.
Yang Mi's parents, one is a teacher and the other is a policeman, although they are relatively open-minded, they also agree with Yang Mi's behavior of wanting to become a star and chasing her dreams, and even gave a lot of support, and began to cultivate Yang Mi's ability in this area since she was a child.
But......
As two ordinary people, or most ordinary people, they will pay more or less attention to their children's learning problems, and they all want to let their children in the college entrance examination, which is the most important choice in life. Achieving excellent results will not be in vain for so many years of hard study.
Yang Mi's parents are no exception, they all want Yang Mi to review well and achieve an excellent score in the college entrance examination.
Therefore, when I first heard that Menjie wanted to take Yang Mi to participate in the filming of a TV series in early May, I was naturally extremely entangled.
On the one hand, they also know the truth. Since the filming of "Kung Fu", Yang Mi has always wanted to cooperate with Menjie again, and will pay any price for this, just to be with Menjie, as a parent who has always loved Yang Mi. Naturally, they also want to make Yang Mi's dream come true.
But on the other hand, they don't want Yang Mi to do this for this reason. And can't perfectly prepare for the college entrance examination. wants Yang Mi to reject Menjie.
On the one hand, it is a promise, and on the other hand, it is a refusal, which indeed makes Yang Mi's parents extremely entangled, and they don't know what to do.
And in the end, for the sake of Yang Mi's future, Yang Mi's parents risked the price that might make Yang Mi angry and unhappy. Rejected Menjie in a word!
"It was my problem just now, it was I who didn't explain it clearly when I explained it!"
With a wry smile, Menjie continued with apologies in his voice.
"Actually, I invest in the TV series itself that is about to be filmed. is an indoor sitcom, there are a total of five protagonists in it, all of whom have comparable scenes, and Yang Mi can probably be regarded as the sixth or seventh character in the TV series, basically appearing in the middle of the year, and will appear in every episode after that! ”
"However, the time when Yang Mi appeared was probably around the middle and early stages, and the time should probably be between early June and mid-June, and it is completely possible to wait until Yang Mi finishes the college entrance examination before coming over, and it will definitely not affect Yang Mi's college entrance examination!"
As he spoke, Menjie's face showed a touch of strong love, looked at Yang Mi slightly, and said softly, "Moreover, Zhilu said that she is about to take the college entrance examination, even if she encounters a big trouble, it is impossible for me to delay her future!" ”
Call!
After listening to Menjie's explanation, Yang Mi's parents couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, they were really worried just now, although they had refused to let Yang Mi star in the TV series that Menjie was about to invest in, but they were also very worried in their hearts, Yang Mi, who was in a rebellious period, would openly resist and willfully go to shoot a TV series on the eve of the college entrance examination.
And now this result is undoubtedly very beneficial to everyone, wait until the beginning of June to shoot the TV series invested by Menjie, it just so happens that Yang Mi's college entrance examination has ended, and being able to devote herself to filming will not affect anything.
"Yes, when Yang Mi finishes the college entrance examination, we will hand her over to you!"
After getting Menjie's affirmative answer, Yang Mi's parents didn't even ask too much, about other questions such as salary, filming location, script, role, etc., and directly agreed to Menjie, and Yang Mi on the side also didn't ask this question, but grinned and snickered on the sofa.
After the college entrance examination, he and Menjie will appear in a TV series again, which Yang Mi has been fantasizing about for more than a year!
"Uncle and aunt, I haven't told you about the contract yet!"
With a wry smile, Menjie said to Yang Mi and the three of them helplessly.
Who knew that before Menjie finished speaking, Yang Mi's parents and others shook their hands in unison, and said with a smile, "Others can't believe it, can't we believe it?" Salary or something, you just watch it, don't say give more or less, just look at this TV series is your investment, Yang Mi just doesn't have a penny of salary, and there is absolutely no problem! ”
Yang Mi's parents didn't care much, but they won the favor of Menjie, and Yang Mi on the side also nodded incessantly.
Although in Menjie's view, Yang Mi's parents' words only showed a kind of trust in themselves, believing that they would not be able to pay Yang Mi, but Yang Mi's nodding in agreement undoubtedly supported Menjie!
In Yang Mi's thoughts, since this TV series is invested and filmed by Men Jie himself, when collecting remuneration, Yang Mi can choose to collect as little as possible, or even not to charge remuneration, and to support Men Jie from the perspective of a friend, which can be regarded as a contribution to herself.
After all......
In order to be able to shoot a good film and television work, Menjie also paid a great price, and even took on a debt of 15 million for this.
"With my relationship with Yang Mi, how could I not pay her?!" With a slightly wry smile, Menjie recalled in his mind the salary he had decided for all the actors before before he said slightly.
"You also know that although Yang Mi once starred in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu", there is really not much brilliance in it, it is not outstanding at all, and she is not from a professional background, and her acting skills are also very poor!"
"On the other hand, Yang Mi is also very young now, and her acting skills are ...... At best, it's the same level as some excellent rookie actors, so in terms of salary, even I can't give too high a figure! ”
"Indeed, don't look at Yang Mi now has some popularity, but in the final analysis, her own acting skills are still too weak, after all, she doesn't have much experience, and she hasn't received systematic training, and she is not even as good as some outstanding newcomer stars, and the salary is lower, which is normal!"
Nodding slightly, Yang Mi's parents agreed with Menjie's statement, in fact, in their minds, their daughter was able to participate in the filming of Zhou Xingchi's "Kung Fu" before, completely because of shit luck, if it really talks about strength, it is still too far behind!
A student who has not graduated from high school, although he has acting experience, is just a character who is not brilliant in a movie, and does not even have a single line, and there is not much for the accumulation of acting skills and experience at all!
On the whole, today's Yang Mi, at best, is a student who has loved acting since he was a child, and has put in a certain amount of effort, and then went to the level of a first- and second-year student in a film and television school!
The experience in the film "Kung Fu", although it is very useful, is at best comparable to about a year of study in film and television schools, compared with some high-achieving students in film and television schools, there is still a certain gap, for the time being, it is not a real 'star'!
"So, after my discussion with the screenwriter, we decided to give Yang Mi's salary, which is 4,000 yuan per episode!"
After a slight pause, Menjie gave his own answer, which was the result of a series of detailed discussions between Menjie and the God of Wealth.
Once when Menjie was filming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" as a newcomer, he received a salary of 1500 soft girl coins per episode with his D-level acting skills, but if Menjie at that time had D+-level acting skills and a certain popularity, I believe that the salary of 3000 yuan per episode could still be easily obtained.
However, there is a big difference between it and two years ago, the actor's salary has risen by at least one level, an ordinary actor like Yang Mi, the asking price will rise by about 500 yuan per episode, plus Yang Mi herself is about to play, and it is an important role in the film's sixth or seventh number, giving a salary of 4,000 yuan per episode, which is indeed not much, it can only be regarded as a normal number.
Even if he can break through his acting skills to the ranks of C-level and second-tier movie stars in the process of filming, Yang Mi's salary will be further increased by then.
So overall, it's Menjie who takes some advantage.
"Yang Mi's scenes are about to start from thirty-one and twelve episodes, and there are less than fifty episodes in total, even if it is a salary of 200,000 yuan!"
smiled awkwardly, Menjie even said a little embarrassed, "This number is indeed not much, mainly because the crew's funds are not very abundant, if I wait until the TV series is popular, I will give a red envelope to all the actors in the crew, I hope it ......"
"Brother Jie, I'll shoot!"
Before Menjie finished speaking, Yang Mi really lived up to Menjie's expectations, without saying a word, she nodded and agreed, and said that she could sign a contract with Menjie at any time and participate in the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" after the college entrance examination.
