Chapter Seventy-Six: Chatting with Song Qian about Internal Entertainment (Part II)
The restaurant is a Chinese fusion dish that incorporates some Western cooking techniques and plating. Li Yu and Song Qian ate the exquisite cuisine in front of them, and simply drank beer and chatted about the topic of the mainland entertainment industry.
Song Qian said mysteriously to Li Yu at this time: "By the way, do you know? I've heard that there will be a big development in entertainment in the mainland this year. Some of my TV host friends have told me that there will be great changes in domestic entertainment this year, especially variety shows! I understand that the provincial TV stations in your hometown will invest a lot of money in the production of variety shows. ”
Li Yu nodded and said, "I know, because at present, Huaxia's variety shows are too monotonous." At present, there is only one "Happy" that can be used as a promotional variety show in Huaxia. Now that the people's life has solved the problem of food and clothing, then 'entertainment' has become one of the most important consumption during rest. Not many young people are watching Korean or RB variety shows now. "RM" is super popular all over Asia, though, I prefer Japanese variety spoof shows. ”
"RB Variety? I just watched the 'AKB' variety show a few times when RB went on a trip. However, in domestic Korean variety shows, because of "RM", many young people are now chasing Korean variety shows. ”
Li Yu nodded and said, "I know, "RM", "Two Days", "We Got Married", didn't you participate?" Hahaha~~ What does it feel like to fall in love in the show? Mr. and Mrs. Pooh!! ”
Song Qian immediately responded: "That's basically acting, how can you really fall in love." ”
Li Yu immediately looked at Song Qian with a wicked smile and said, "Haven't you ever been interested in Ni Kun?" I think he was really moved in the show, and isn't that what the program team wants? Sometimes when I think about it, the program team is still a little 'too much'. Seeing that the feelings are up, everyone is going to start getting serious, hehe, the breakup news is coming!! ”
Li Yu laughed first as he spoke.. And Song Qian listened with a helpless face, the show was really so much changed at the beginning. When she was filming that show, she said that it was impossible not to have a heartbeat, people, emotional animals, and Nikun's appearance was not bad, so it was natural to have a heartbeat at that time.
It's just that Song Qian has to remind herself all the time that this is just a show, don't invest too much emotion in the show, because there is no follow-up. Although so many years have passed, many fans are still looking forward to the follow-up of her and Nikun's story, but there is really no follow-up.
Song Qian looked at Li Yu speechlessly and said, "People like you should go to shoot "We Are Married". Well, maybe this show will be introduced to China. ”
Li Yu laughed: "If it is introduced into China, if the program team invites me, I really don't mind participating." But, the premise is to find me a super beauty! At least you have to be a super beauty like 'Sister V'! ”
Listening to Li Yu's words, Song Qian was still quite comfortable in her heart, but she said: "Come less, what a super beauty I am~~ Seeing that you know how to win people's hearts so well when you are a trainee, you should be very good at chasing girls, right?" ”
Li Yu nodded and said seriously: "Chasing girls? That's too easy, right? As long as you are willing to spend time, put your mind into it, spend money, take them to eat delicious things, buy beautiful clothes, bags, lipstick. Slowly, you will find out ~~~ What is called playing in the water! Hahaha~~! ”
The last sentence in Li Yu's words made Song Qian burst into laughter all of a sudden: "Poof~~Hahaha~~ You're too funny, you're too funny, hahaha~~~ No, I have to tell my good friends about this." Hahaha~~"
Li Yu said: "I thought you were going to put it on your neck? ”
"Okay, send one on the scarf, just to add a little heat! After a while, we take a group photo and I upload the photo! ”
"Okay, let's take a picture later!"
The two continued to eat dinner, and Song Qian asked Li Yu: "In the past two years, the domestic situation has been getting better and better, and you haven't thought about returning to China to develop?" With your current popularity, you can definitely earn more when you return to your home country than in South Korea! ”
Li Yu took a bite of beef foie gras and responded while eating: "Actually, it doesn't matter to me how much I earn, and I also earn a lot in Korea." Especially in the past two years, I have made a lot of advertising and my income is good. ”
Li Yu's words made Song Qian very hurt, she could only say: "I know, you were originally a child of a rich family in the magic capital!" And your development in South Korea is very good, but the company recruits us Chinese people to open up the mainland market. Their entertainment market is already well developed, and we're just getting started, so take advantage of the opportunity! ”
"I know. However, Sister V, what did you say to the company, and how did they agree with you to shift your focus to China? This is what Li Yu has always been curious about, Song Qian, who has set up her own studio in China, but is still affiliated with the banner of 'S.M'.
Song Qian said bluntly: "Because I am working more and more in the mainland, and I make more money in the mainland than in South Korea, it is natural for the company to focus on China." You rarely appear in variety shows, do you? Do you know how much I spent performing in "Undefeated Youth" and "We Are Married"? ”
Li Yu shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, I just heard that Liu Jae-seok's predecessor is now filming "Infinite Challenge" and "RM" for 20 million won per issue. ”
Song Qian sighed: "Yes, he is a well-known host in South Korea, and he only got a salary of 130,000 issues, how much do you think we will get when we debuted?" I'll tell you the truth, when I appeared in the show, it was two million in one episode. And the episode of the program filmed at that time was calculated as two days, which was equal to 1 million won a day, which was 6,000 yuan! ”
Li Yu asked directly: "Indeed, this price is a bit low. I starred in "My Love from the Star", and my salary was only 30 million won per episode. This is still the price that was offered after the outbreak of our EXO song "Roar", and Ji-yeon and I filmed "God of Learning" for only 1,000,000 won per episode. After you come back, the salary for starring in the Chinese TV series is very high, right? ”
"It's definitely a little higher than you are in Korea." Song Qian just responded 'modestly'. Because the price of Li Yu's appearance in "You in the Star" is less than 200,000. After the filming of the entire TV series was completed, he only received four million performance remuneration.
And the crew only paid half of the price in advance, and the remaining half had to wait for the first quarter after the end of the TV series. Because it has to wait for the TV station to be broadcast and settled to the investor, the investor will give the money to the actor.
This is also the reason why South Korea often makes news about actors being owed wages and then boycotting performances, or after the performance, they can't receive follow-up payments for a long time.
And if Li Yu returns to China now, his salary may more than triple, and with the addition of Huaxia TV series, there will be more than 30 episodes at every turn. Therefore, as long as Li Yu returns to China for development, how can a drama receive tens of millions of performance fees. And this is still the time when capital has not entered on a large scale, if you wait for capital to enter on a large scale, Li Yu's annual income will definitely exceed 100 million yuan It is definitely much easier than Wu Sign.
Maybe his salary for starring in the movie will be as high as 100 million! Of course, Li Yu will never evade taxes!
Li Yu looked at Song Qian and said, "When I have the opportunity, I will definitely be willing to come back and develop, after all, this is my root." It's just that I don't have any TV series to star in for the time being."
Song Qian said: "There is no temporary TV series looking for you, you can release an album." Of course, there may be very few people who support genuine albums now. But, I think there are so many people in Huaxia, how can you sell 100,000 records, right? And then hold some personal meetings or something, and make more money than in Seoul in a year, not to mention, and definitely earn more than Seoul. ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "Speaking of records, by the way, you haven't released your own records since you returned to China." Why don't I write you two songs to use as your personal representative songs? ”
Song Qian looked at Li Yu with a smile and said, "Free? ”
Li Yu responded: "Find a company to get money, you said you want to release Chinese songs." Or can you give me 100,000 yuan as a pen fee? ”
Song Qian rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "Wow, I see you are in the eyes of money, right?" 100,000 yuan? In Huaxia, there are no songs that sell 100,000 yuan. ”
"What did you say was the pen fee for Dong Chou to fill in Fang Wenshan's words?"
Song Qian shook her head slightly: "How do I know?" A top lyricist like Fang Wenshan, there should be no shortage of songs. ”
Li Yu raised his beer glass with a smile at this time, invited Song Qian to touch it, and then he spoke: "That's right, I'm also a top music producer, right?" Of course, you can ask the company to help you pay for it. ”
Song Qian stopped and said, "Forget it, forget it." I don't think about any representations. ”
Li Yu looked at Song Qian's refusal, and he immediately said, "I really have a very good song." Giving it to you for free, I think it's a bit of a loss. Or do you give points symbolically? Even according to the market price of Huaxia? ”
Song Qian said: "The market price in Huaxia is a buyout." You're going to buy out the song to me? ”
Li Yu said very helplessly: "Even if I keep the copyright myself, is it useful?" I can't get any royalties anyway. ”
"That's not necessarily, whether your song is "Those Years" or the later "Song Not Made for Anyone", you can ask the platform to pay you the copyright fee."
Li Yu said: "What if they don't? ”
Song Qian said: "Take up the weapon of the law to defend your rights." I'm sure these music platforms will definitely pay. But, how much, you have to negotiate with them yourself. ”
